I just purchased a 1975 pontiac 455, compression ratio 8:1 and 210 hp. If I put on 1972 7J2 heads, combustion chambers are 96cc, 1.96 and 1.77 valves, will I feel a noticeable difference? Will this combination even be feasible? Thanks for the help guys.

To answer both of your questions:
No and No. The heads you have on that 455 are already better than the 7J2's, using the 7J2 to get a smaller chamber to raise compression would be a poor choice in head on a 455.
