Hey guys im rebuilding my engine and im buying the kit from summit racing, here is the part number FEM-MHP173-030, if you dont want to look the pistons are

Vendor: Speed-Pro
Product Line: Speed-Pro POWERFORGED Pistons
Material: Forged Aluminum
Finish: Machined

Higher compression, longer life.

Ford: 302, 3.00 in. stroke, 5.090 in. connecting rod, flat top, forged, piston

Thanks to a special aluminum alloy that doesn't expand as much as other alloys, this POWERFORGED piston is designed to fit tight, providing the stability and ring control you need plus the strength you want. Plus, Speed-Pro added a ribbed skirt for better oil retention and included a new wrist pin.

MY Questions is will the e303 cam and 1.7 rollers work with these pistons or will the lift be too much, also will the 1.6 rollers work.
thanks alot

Do the pistons have valve reliefs?

What heads are you running and what size valves do they have?

Are the heads milled?

Need more info
