You'll find loads of specifications in the factory service manual (FSM)

Chapter 3-316 "removal and installation of pistons"

More info:-

You'll also find that there are three official group sizes for the pistons (over bore sizes). A machine shop / engine re-builder will have a universal source of information that carries specifications for "all" engines.
