No, 60 thou is close to 1340cc IIRC. 

You have to use 73.5mm pitons. Omega and Hepolite pistons are
available. You can also get 74mm pistons too. If you ever intend to
go from 73.5mm to 74mm, then you need to be careful about the
offset bores.

BTW, when it is doneby a good shop, it works very well.
