OK this is going to sound a bit weird.
Can a stock piston and rings be used in a steel cylinder [not iron]?
I was thinking about turning a set of cylinders out a piece of thick wall mechanical tubing I have and making a finned aluminum sleeve to fit over the cylinder using high temp heat compound to conduct the heat away from the cylinder, this wont be drop in sizes you will have to open the case and heads but it would be nice to have a 87mm bore. This wont be for a street driven car.

Plain jane steel tubing is gonna get chewed up using cast or moly rings.. not to mention it will not hold its shape under heating and cooling cycles..
some exotic steel like 4140 might hold up, but..
If you are committed to this project, why not try these guys?
