79 350 with 76cc heads LOW COMP.!!!

So I just picked up a L48 350 out of a 79 z28 yesterday and im starting a list of what im going to get for the rebuild but not sure how to cope with the (76cc) low compression heads, im going with factory spec internals besides a high lift cam, gear drive, and 1.6 roller rockers, I was thinking about a single plane high rise and My plans for the low comp. heads were to mill the heads, thinner head gasket and possible larger valves (2.02 and 1.6). From what ive read the heads are practically use less unless your force inducted. I have a set of early model vortec 54cc heads off my old 305 if it came down to swapping...give me some ideas on what I should revise/add to my list!!!
