Use the 6X-4 heads since the others will need dished pistons to run pump gas. Even the 6X-4 may be marginal on pump gas, some have success and others don't running those heads on a 455.

If it was my 455 I would want the 6X-8 heads, mostly because here in So Cal we only get 91 octane premium.

On a zero-deck 455 +.030 assuming a 10cc gasket, 7cc piston valve relief and a 1cc ring area I get 9.16:1.
