No problem with clearance. The distance from the edge of the valve to the cylinder wall is a lot less than it is with a 4" bore, so flow will be reduced in that area.

ZZ3 & 4 crate motors came with the aluminum heads as well. Not sure about ZZ2 off the top of my head.

They'll be much better than TBI heads. Porting required to get them to flow more than LB9 heads with 1.94" intake valves installed.

You should shave the chambers to about 52cc if you put them on a 305. Assuming no 350 shortblock is in your future.
