292 piston clearance

hi
Can somebody tell what the piston to bore clearance is for a 292
Bought a stock style set of pistons, there are no info in box.
Pistons are to be used in a 272 block, bored to fit STD 292 pistons
There is some difference in piston diameter is that normal.
Cylinders need to be bored specific for each piston.

Thanks for experts advice

Best to consult the manufacturer of the pistons, if possible. If they are original Ford, go by the shop manual. If the manufacturer is not known, take it to the machinist and maybe they can use their best judgement.

I should have noted the clearance I posted was from the factory manual for factory pistons..
