Dove heads valve size

Are 2.224/1.75 valves to big for dove heads? The motor they will be going on is a very high compression 460, which leads to my next question. What pistons are available that would give me 14-15:1 compression in a dove headed 460?
Thanks Bob

on the valve size I cant honestly answer that question but on the pistons to get that compression i think your gonna have to go custom.

Any combination of valve head diameter sizes equalling 4" or less will fit.

I have a set of JE 0.060" over domed 460 pistons with pins and locks. Tops are polished already. These would give you the compression that's for sure. Send me a PM and we can talk if you're interested.
