I am just gonna do a nice hone job to get rid of the ridge.
There isn't but maybe a few thousandths ridge. My plan is to put 800 bucks into this thing and run the crap out of it. 
A few thousandths is alot, even the slightest ridge could be .007" & you cant just hone that out, Like mentioned, either run the factory pistons that came in there or bore it, by the time you get pistons & rods your looking at money spent, then you need to have the rods re-sized if there going to be on a different crank, your looking at more money, Its not that much for bore/hone, your looking at around 150.00, thats money well spent, your asking for trouble dropping in another set of pistons with the ridge, you will break a ring.
Another good investment is allign honeing the block for straightness especially if you use another crank, This game ain't cheap, If your wanting to run the piss out of it then your "best" bet is get a complete running 440 & drop it in, even if its a smogger, bolt-ons & a 125-150 shot will cure its weaknesses on the later 440s.
