Give a call to Lem, he'll hook you right up on the correct cam. 
Cam suggestion stock 460 D3VE heads
What would be a good Solid Flat Tappet cam to run? .40 over 460 with D3VE heads exhaust ported. Going in a Fox Mustang with Powerglide, 4.30 gears, and will weigh around 3200 with driver.
Wondering about valve clearance with stock style pistons. Also, may upgrade to Lem's SCJ heads in future.

A whole lot more information will be needed for the correct camshaft however, the valve notches in a STOCK piston will only accept an intake valve as large as 2.125" and that is close. A D3VE head will have more clearance than other production valve location heads because the valves are about .100" farther up-into the head.
With SCJ heads the intake notch is in a different place altogether.

I will have to pull the heads to find out about the notches (if any) it has now. I take it the SCJ is kinda like the Twisted Wedge head for small blocks?
As far as the intake valve notch goes ... yep, that's a fair parallel.I will have to pull the heads to find out about the notches (if any) it has now. I take it the SCJ is kinda like the Twisted Wedge head for small blocks?
