Are your pistons true flat tops or are they dished flat tops? Do you know what your compression is now? It depends on how far you plan to angle mill them. Remember you'll have to have the intake milled also,then the valve covers may not fit properly since they also cover a portion of the intake manifold as well. This will cause oil leaks. Also,this could affect the required pushrod length,too. FE's are notoriously thin in the cylinder head decks,so angle milling them may damage them (i.e. hit water). Its not really recomended,its just too costly (a traditional FE trait). Your best bet would be to get the correct pistons for the compression you want to run.
