Joblot Automotive 800-221-0172 sells the pistons and rings but for some reason doesn't mention what's available. Try them.

Unless you want to have pistons made , then it somewhat depends on what oversize pistons you have or can find .
it also depends on how thick your cylinder walls are
I sonic test the cylinder walls on all engines before i bore them.
