You can use them but will need a different head to bring the compression down.

Back in 1999 I purchased low compression pistons from Kanter's for my 1961 4 cylinder motor. Turns out they were the 10.25 to 1 pistons. http://www.kanter.com///productdetai...Cat=32&Prc=362

Make sure they are the low compression ones.
