Default Re: Piston rings for a 221 c.i ?

I just happened to have a Hastings set I ordered for my winter project. The engine is a ford replacement block with the '59' cast on the bell, but 3 1/16" bore. Mine is also .060 over. The oil rings in mine are 2 piece. I got them from Bob Selzam in NJ. He buys a lot of surplus, nos etc parts so these may not be the current production run. I am excited to try the ball hone with waterless hand cleaner routine. I have only used a 3 stone hone in the past. Is the 3 1/4" size the best size overall for flathead V8 work? Here's my ring set and maybe I can answer some questions if needed.
