I'm looking at a bow tie block right now with a 4.5 bore. I already have a brand new 4.25 Molnar crank and 6.385 rods. With that bore and stroke it will make a 540. The guy is also selling a set of 681 casting bow tie heads. They are 105cc open chamber heads with 380cc intake runners! Will that be a good head for a 540? I want to run a tunnel ram with dual 850s and a roller cam. Possibly a blower, but most likely a tunnel ram. I'm looking for advice.

I am no where near choosing a cam yet. All I know is that I'm going with a hydraulic roller set up from Crower. The guy is asking $1800 for the bow tie block. I'm not interested in the heads anymore. I think a 540 will really get the tunnel dragster to scoot.

Yep,, those heads are not for you.
Is $1800 for a new bowtie block, or used? If not, do some searching for Dart blocks, there have been some really good prices in the past couple of months.
