Head/Cam experts: Will my setup work?

Since I have all these parts sitting around, waiting to be installed I figured now will be a good time to see if they will all work together. Currently I have a set of E7TE heads (care of Zach - 'Cougarcruisin) and a Speed Pro Cam (care of Nick - 'Blown306Cougar') See specs below. Just wondering if these two will work together on my stock '85 Non-Roller block without clerance issues.

Cam Specs:

Intake/Exhaust
.050 Dur. - 204/214
SAE Dur. - 280/290
Cam Lift - .280/.295
Valve Lift- .448/.472

I think that's all the specs needed, but if you need more, there's a few others listed on the box, like Lobe Centers and such. Nick told me this was very close to the profile of a stock HO cam in it's roller form. Help would be appreciated in this matter as I am not good with a micrometer.

One other thing. The heads don't currently have rockers. Any specific rockers I should look for?

I dont see you having a clearance issue. at least with stock ratio 1.6 rockers.

that cam would like n2o with its split lift and duration.

stock H.O cam lift is .444 at the valve w/1.6 rockers

You'll be fine with the 1.6's. If you have valve relief pistons you can go 1.7 no problem as well...
