should work but i would worry alittle bit on valve to piston clearance... It would probably be to much lift! I'm telling you buy a upper and lower intake, a cam wont do much if the engine cant breathe

A cam swap isn't the easiest job to do. You need to pull the front half of the engine apart back to the timing chain, pull the valve covers and intake manifold to pull the lifters up while removing the cam and then re-assemble.
With the smog laws you can get a smog legal e303 cam. The nice thing about roller cams is that you don't need to change your roller lifters.
