hello again i have a 72 455 with ga heads small valves the cylinders are in great shape about .001 over stock bore size i was gonna hone it and put new rings on but now im thinking i could swap the pistons and get a little more compression can anyone tell me if this is doable and what pistons to get and what the compression would be thanks!

I am in Erie(actually Girard).Where are you? You could install another set of stock pistons,from a 68-70 455.They have a much smaller dish.The 2bbl engines had a slightly larger dish,but still smaller than the dish in your 72 pistons.I have stuff like that here,if you decide to do that.
