Default Eheads on stock 455 bottom end - am I crazy?

Hello from the UK!

I've got a 68 firebird with a 1970 455, and a new set of round port eheads waiting on a shelf.

The 455 had a full rebuild 10 years ago, has:
- a HFT comp cams 280h 230/230
- 4x heads
- performer intake
- 750cfm edelbrock carb (carter)
- stock pan
- stock bottom end (nothing trick)
- Mallory HEI ignition.
- Comp roller rockers.
- Rusty old 1 3/4 headers.

Has been running great with a m20 muncie since the rebuild.

Right now the engine is out the car for a clutch and engine bay repaint. I've been collecting new speed parts (as everyone does I'm sure) and was thinking of throwing on:

- MSD ignition + 6AL box
- Performer RPM intake
- 750HP double pumper
- MLS .068 cometic head gaskets.
- APR Head studs
- round port eheads
- dougs 1 7/8 ceramic headers.

If I turn the RPM limit down to 4k for example do you reckon it'll be okay to run for the meantime to get the car back on the road?

Street only car, no track work.

Am I being crazy? happy to hear your thoughts!
