In case you wonder why I reference the Ferguson at all, it's because the
piston and liner sets from either TR or Fergie will fit in either
block. The
Fergies had 80 mm, or later, 85 mm pistons. You can still get the 85 mm
sets.

From the useless trivia department...the Standard Ensign also had 80mm
pistons, except for those sold in North America (Canada, primarily),
where they were known as Vanguard Ensigns and had 85mm pistons.
Meanwhile, I've heard tales from "old-timers" that way back when (i.e.,
perhaps before the 86mm piston and liner option was introduced), folks
would use "Fergie" 85mm pistons and liners for the increased
displacement.
