.068 over bore with BBO pistons? Same stroke?

My issues are this, My 350 is bored .060 now and it's very hard to find flat tops for this size. but if I bore it to .068 that would bring it to a bore of 4.125 which is the same as a 425 or 455. My question is could I bore my engine on out to .068 and use bigger pistons? Do the stroke have to match? Is this possible? Flat tops for a 455 are alot easier to find and I want high compression. Right now my current pistons bring my compression to a 8:2

455 pistons have a different compression height and won't work in an SBO with stock rods. 425 pistons, however, are the same 4.125 bore as a 455 but the same compression height as the SBO pistons. These will work (if you can find them at a reasonable price).
