Default 76 455 Head Help

I am ready to send off my 455 for a rebuild. Originally with a 7.6 CR, I plan on swapping heads.

I have a set of 1973 #46 heads and a set of 1976 #6X-4 heads.

I've seen two different cc sizes for the #46. Wallace lists them as 96.17 cc's, Butler lists them as 89 cc's. Any idea which is correct?

Most sources show the #6X-4 as 93.74 cc's.

I would like to use the Butler 068 HR cam, but am afraid the cr might get too high for a 212 cam. Will either head work?

If not, would the Butler 224/230 HR help the issue?

Car has the original 3.23 gears and ST10 Four Speed. Using original intake and q-jet. Switching to ram air exhaust manifolds and dual exhaust with cross-over, if that matters.
