I talked with a machinist the other day about offset grinding and he said "sure I can do that." He builds racing engines. I haven't committed to doing that yet. If it's that much trouble, it doesn't really give that much increased stroke.
I didn't think that a 216 piston could be cut down, but I have that question in to a piston supplier to see what they say. Another option would be to offset the piston pin bores lower in the pistons, but again, more machining cost.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
