Default L92 rods and pistons comparable to: ???

I have a complete rotating assembly off a L92 that I plan to use for a cheap
build. My main concern is the pistons.
I plan to use a 6.0 block, but don't want to go all the way to the 4.070 bore needed
for the l92 pistons.
So, can I use LQ4 or LQ9 pistons on the L92 rods?
I guess I could always go with forged pistons but was planning to do this as a cheap build for my brother. (He has a tired 6.0 and is not looking for performance)
No flames please. He is on a limited budget for parts, but has the hookup for all the machine work and assembly from a friend at a machine/engine shop.
He and I will be doing the engine swap ourselves.

google L92 piston wrist pin

they're . . .6.0 and 6.2s have the same stroke.

Just find out the piston mesurements. I'm pretty sure that they have the same wrist pins, and rod lenghts

My buddy took my 6.0 and went to the 4.070 bore. It's the only way to get a set of stock pistons and put em in a machined engine. If you have checked your bore diameter you could get away with some LQ9s, but I wouldn't. I mic'd mine and they were so egged on the sides that i needed a .003 hone minimum and that shot the idea.

I vote for 4.070
