By the time you upgrade your 454s your gonna have about $7500 in parts plus machine work plus a fee for moritz to put it together if you dont know how. guessing $3500 for machine work and assembly. And you still have cast crank, stock rods.

Pistons, roller cams, roller lifters, timing chain, pushrods, gasket set, bearings, rings, square ports heads, intake, carb.
I would buy 2 crate motors and be done. Jegs has complete World 509 540hp 575ft/lbs. for $8899.
Sell your 454s.

I'm not sure how you get $7500 for pistons, bearings, gaskets cam & valves/springs.

That pricing is closer. The only way you are spending a ton of money is if you are letting them port and polish your heads, which is BS, because you should be finding someone with a CNC machine to do a better job for half the price.
