I rebuilt a '89 Mustang 5.0 years ago. I used Holley heads and 1.7 roller rockers with a .509 lift cam. Total lift would be about .540. I clay checked the clearance and had more than 120 thousands on both valves.

BE SURE to check your push rod length. Later I bought another brand of aluminum heads and did not check the push rod length because I was swapping aluminum heads for aluminum heads. Should be the same. NOPE. Ate up the valve guides within a thousand miles.
