The ones without heads should be complete junk, which means the piston size isn't important. Those pistons are, or should be, rusted to the block. Getting them out will be "fun".

I'm actually surprised you could get any of them to turn over. Without some protection, every one of them should have at least two cylinders with pistons rusted into them. I have several 305s under cover, and have most of them stuck now (turned when stored). Motors which ran when pulled.
