1972 340

So i have found out one of the low compression problems with the 72 is relocation of wrist pins on pistons...dont know if this true..
I know intake valves are small...Can I use piston set up as per the older year 340s...Just want to wake engine up...planning on installing aluminum heads, intake manifold , headers , cam...Know I have to do a lot of research on this combination...looking for a few different options
Thanks
