At a guess i would say that means 2.0 high compression. And if you can get hold of some cheap 2.8i pistons you could make a 2.1 pinto. Depends on budget really.

V6 pistons are short you would need to deck the block or fit cossy rods the circlip groove for wrist pin

2.0hc means 2.0 high compression, yes they wil be cast pistons, doesnt mean they will be std size though.

i personally would only bore it as far as needed to make the engine good, stretching them to 2.1 adds very little extra power
