How much would the compression ratio change going to a set of 1970 351W heads on a 5.0?

what is the casting number of the head you are talking about? Better yet, what is the cc of the combustion chamber if you know it?

The 351W head is listed as 60.4cc and the stock heads on a 5.0, I believe, are 64cc.

stock heads on an 87-93 5.0 are 61-62cc's. So you will virtually gain no compression.
