I would go buy hemigod'a heads and then buy a set of gapless piston rings to take care of any blow by from the additional compression. That will also help seal up if the block is a little worn. It isnt hard to install new rings and they aren't that expensive. Plus the gapless rings will be like adding a few hundredths of compression maybe also hone the block with the simple hand tool verison on a drill.
