Really can't say for sure. If you knew what kind of clearance you had with the 257's it would be easier as the 258's have .011" more intake lift and .008" exhaust lift at TDC. At .224" intake and .208" I would definitely be checking. Also the 258's are gonna like abit more compression as the intake closes 4 degrees later the the 257.
