WTB: 454 Oval Port Heads
 
Looking into purchasing some budget friendly oval port heads for making low end torque on a 454.

Anyone have something good lying around?

I am in Southern California. Airjunky, to be honest..."flat top friendly" is over my head. Does that mean flat pistons for overall comp ratio? What I may do is purchase a new 454HO and take the rectangle port heads off and place ovals on to move the power band and torque down lower RPMS. either change or keep HO cam in there. Need to learn more about that part.

Goal is to have a stout roller engine built more efficiently than the dog 310HP 454. I believe we can get better power/torque for at or near the same mileage if done right.
