Your rings probably aren't seated yet.  I've also heard that chrome-moly rings take longer to seat.  Give it some time, it should stop.

I just put together a mild 454, stock heads (049 with 2.19/1.88), crank,
block, 10:1 hypereutectic pistons, roller cam, etc.  Everything on the
engine is new and/or rebuild/reconditioned.  The head have been
professionally rebuilt, with new valve guides, seals, etc.  The rings
are file fit chrome moly.

It runs fine, but I'm getting oil out of the valve cover breathers.  I
have brand new Edelbrock round enclosed chrome breathers (baffle in
opening, foam inside, vent holes on the bottom).  I don't really get
much oil when the car is running in the garage, but it makes a real mess
when I go for a drive.

Any suggestions?  Why am I getting the excess oil?  And how do I cure
it?
It's making a mess!
