Umm...if they are 1.72 intake valve heads, they are probably worthless for any kind of performance use. Look for a set of new or used 165-180cc intake port heads instead. The Vortec heads are good, so are the S/R torquers, Patriot heads, Dart Iron Eagle, Trick Flow, Edelbrock, etc. Just be sure you stay away from any head with a port larger than 180cc's if low to mid range torque is what you want. I run a XE 262 cam with a Performer intake, Q-Jet, S/R torquer heads (2.02 intake, 1.6 exhaust), 9.5:1 compression, etc and it has lots of torque. It also idles well and is somewhat decent on gas. The acceleration feels like a very strong stock V8 and is not at all peaky or high strung. If that is what you are aiming for, try a combination similar to mine. There are things I would do differently if I did it again, but they involve using a factory roller cam block and more money.
Also, what do you mean that they are not flat tops? Are they domed or dished? If dished, you really want a smaller chamber size to make up for the dish. Hopefully they are a "D" dish and not a complete dish as this would allow you to have some quench. If the whole piston crown is dished, the engine will be detonation prone and inefficient as it will be without any quench.
