the only way to get around the compression problem is to change pistons..

As Ken indicated you already have the 58cc heads from the 74 block. It sounds as though you have already spent a good deal of money on the other components. SBF short block rebuild kits are very inexpensive and it may be worth your time to simply rebuild the short block. Or, find a good used short block with the "flat top" pistons in it. I have an 84 block which by my measurements appears to have pistons that are flush with the deck (zero deck height), therefore the E7 heads are perfect. Also, this particular block is already drilled and tapped for the roller cam and lifters retainers. Good luck
