Why not just bore it out 75mm or 100 mm...make it easier.

Check with a piston supplier. There are a lot of them out there, and each one carries a lot of different sizes. Make sure you get the pistons before you bore the engine so that the final bore size can be determined before you open the block up. Your machine shop should know this, but sometimes they just assume that what you ask for is the correct size.
