460 build!!!

Hello im new to here and need some help. Im building a 460 for my mud truck, Im looking to get to about 450hp..Im runing a D3VE motor and heads. I have the heads .010 shaved and ported and polished to match intake..I want to get my block decked but i dont know how much to have them take off, Runing high comp isnt a problem to run race gas..and i also dont know what pistons to get if i deck it..can i run flat tops or do i need dished? im runing a .560 lift cam if thats needed to know..Thanks

You need to get your rotating assembly collected first, then the machinist will mock it up and can zero deck (or whatever) the block.
Your valve sizes and anticipated compression will help determine which O.T.S. pistons to get (or you could have some made however you like)
Cometic and others make head gaskets in many thicknesses, you can fine tune quench and compression with these.

Monsterbaby is far more knowledgeable about builds than I am, but 450RWH is not asking much of a well set up 460.
