The D0VE heads are not CJ heads. The CJ head number is D0OE-R.

Setting up D0VE heads to rival the CJ in a 429/460 application means portwork on the intake and exhaust, oversize 2.19" intake & 1.72 exhaust valves and a good valve job. When you consider that you will be building a perfomance 429 with new parts and machining anyway, this work is not unreasonable and actually very beneficial to your build.

In regards to your last quesiton, properly setting up your motor for what you desire will require a lot of questions and answers. I'll send you my contact info; I'll be happy to answer your questions and point you in the right direction.
