You can not CORRECTLY machine a block without the pistons in hand. Especially considering you don't know what pistons to get, what material they are, or what they're going to be used for.

It doesn't matter what pistons you want. What matters is the size of the pistons you end up with - you can't hone a block properly without the EXACT piston you are using.
You can get a batch of 100 pistons and very few of them will match each other. Not to mention, you have no idea what the size of the skirt is in the first place.
You have a crank ground .100" ????
