Got the new engine up and running finially and was trying to break it in and check everything when I noticed oil leaking as i looked under the car, with further investigation I can see oil seems to be coming from both heads and towards the rear by the firewall only. Would this be bad head gaskets or maybe just need retorqued ?

No, and no.

It's more likely either the valve covers or the intake end seals. I'd suspect the intake end seals especially if you used the rubber ones that come in the gasket set; and the valve covers especially if you used aftermarket ones, and above all if they're chrome.
