His block is already .060" over.

Depends on how loose the one hole is.

The options are run it or have that piston coated or knurled if it's too sloppy or go with a set of standard 440 pistons. Without an actual measurement there's really no way to give a good recommendation.

If this was a running engine at .060" over and it didn't crack, I don't think I would lose any sleep over an extra .005" on the radius if the easiest solution was a set of standard 440 pistons.
