Head and porting question for Keith

[82ACAUTOCRAFT]

Keith, I am in the process of building a new FE engine for the street. The engine will be installed in my AC428 when completed and be matched to a Toploader. Rear end ratio will be 3.08 or longer. I bought a 1968 HL 427 Side Oiler block which will be bored .17 over. Billet 3.98 crank with Chevy BB rod bearings. Oliver 6.8" rods. Here is the caveat, I have very limited room under the hood and so far the only intake manifold that works in the ford P.I.. I do not want to cut or modify the hood. I want to buy a set of aluminum heads and have them ported for my application in conjunction with the intake. So far I am planning on using hydraulic lifters because once the car is painted the fewer service under the hood the better.
Some people have suggested hydraulic rollers but I have heard so much horror stories about rollers that I plan to stay away. The car will be driven long distances to rallies and various shows and it has to be reliable. The car currently has a 428 setup with Edelbrock heads, a P.I. intake, custom made headers, Crower hydraulic cam and a 735 Holley. What do you suggest as far as heads? Could you port a new set of heads in conjunction with this manifold?
Thank
