The only reason I suggest pulling the pistons is...
I would think you plan on putting it in a nice ride and
I dont like having to pull a engine back out if something
goes wrong... you have the heads off already...
whats one more day.... yes that spot isnt bad but
it would be my luck it has a issue, plus I'd look
at the bearings... if it all looks good.. put it back
together and have a clear mind about it... but thats... JMO

Exactly............saw a "finished" block from some [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] up here that a buddy was putting together that had bad rust in a couple of cyls and Rick the [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] machinest told him it was fine cos the rings would scrub through it and seal fine. I personally would do as Mike says and de-glaze or even ball hone the block. Rings are designed to seal not scrub rust away........
