I was told that a narrow deck can't be upgraded to 160hp without a lot of expense. Is this right? What does it take besides the higher compression pistons?

I have an IA looking up piston part numbers and will be looking for good prices on pistons new or servicable used. Any good sources would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
