Just like the subject says.

What if it had double hump heads?

The LT4 HC will have too much lift with stock 350 heads if you are talking about an L98. I am not really sure what those camel-back heads can handle for lift in stock trim. Basically you will want to ensure that the retainer is not going to hit the guide boss as well as make sure the springs you choose do not bind no matter what heads you run. BTW, lift on the LT4 HC is .492" with a 1.5:1 rocker ratio and .525" with a 1.6:1.

Hope that helps
Good Luck!
