THE 14096217 are not what you want those heads will lower the C.R too much.
try northernautoparts.com  I think they have a comp cam as a upgrade with a .450 or so lift that will work just fine for you.

The EK-0984 should be what you want and the elgin .450 or .458 should work fine.

Yes the 601 heads and flat top pistons should be fine and should put you around 9:1CR.

The kit you mentioned comes with clevite bearings and I have had problems with them they are very soft and I would not recomend them.
The kit I posted comes with federal mogul bearings and they are what I use and have never had a problem out of them.
