no i do not who is WE? mill the heads down to what a small chamber then were will you be ? in take valves hanging down past the deck?? been there and done that . if this is a dish piston 454 it will have no CR .the heads he has will work ok with small valve the big block heads are canted so they move from the chamber walls when open yes you could run the 781/049 mill the heads . put the piston.010 in the hole to the deck run a steel shim head gasket run a bigger cam ??? you will have no pistons to valve why?? you just cut it all off the deck AND heads now the in take valves are haning down in the hole ??the bore size will help any head work better and if he works on the ex headers / X cross .and intake and cam with the heads he has with a re cam it should be it 370 hp +? so at this point i still do not know what he wants to do?? not do any thing to it is what i get. just a recam? if so. not rework the engine. then i would run the marine/ Rv cam in it call it good .or buy a 598/638 pump gas engine from me
