My understanding is the high comp. comes from a longer stoke.
Bore size on a 1296 is 2.90"
Bore size on a 1493 is 2.90"
You might change the heads and not get anything.

Subject: Cylinder head interchangeability
Hello,
Would a head from a '65 1500 engine fit my '72 1300 engine?
The engine is the later-type 1300, which uses the 1500-style
head gasket.
The '76 cars were supposed to have 9:1 compression, and
(possibly with a bit of milling), I could have a high-compression
head for my car without messing up the original one...
