Peter, how bad is the pitting? Will it bore to 3+5/16"? They will (apparently)go out past that and pistons (and gaskets to suit) are readily available. They can go out safely as far as 3+7/16" in a really good block. (not suggesting you risk that) 3+5/16 is considered safe enough to not have to do anything special as far as a porous bore goes, if your block is not badly rusted in the water jacket.
It will give you more cubes.
The extra cost of sleeving can be diverted to the pistons.
Be aware that there is always a degree of risk in going for the o/s bore.
