85.5x69 = 1585
87 "" = 1641
88 "" = 1679
90.5 "" = 1775
92 "" = 1835
94 "" = 1915

1775 is a good choice given your options, but next month AA is introducing thick-wall 92mm sleeves (a 92mm ID jug with the OD dimensions that of a 94mm) that will likely be the best cylinder on the market short of Nickies...I'm ordering several sets later this week. The catch is the thick sleeves are offered in sets of four with no pistons or with 'B' compression height pistons for use with long rods and/or stroker cranks...So if you want to run a stock stroke engine you'll need to source some 'A' pistons.

87's and 88's are offered in 'slip-in' sizes that don't require boring the case or heads but they're only advisable for light vehicles...the catch is 88's are also available in 'Machine-in' dimensions - which makes them superior to all the other cylinders (except for the new thick-wall 92's)...but 85.5-88mm piston sets aren't available in 'B' compression height so it's particularly hard to build a large displacement engine using them...practical limit using an 'A' piston is 1849cc's 88x76.
