Disassemble it as far as you can then take it to an automotive machine shop. They'll need to magnaflux and bore the engine and head(s) before you can trust it. They'll get the piston out and if the block isn't damaged beyond repair they can help get your engine back into shape.
The engine block is the lower portion of the engine that the cylinder heads mount to that houses the pistons,crankshaft ,oil pump etc . Basically ,the block has the cylinders for the pistons...

to house the pistons
Most people consider a short block to be a block with crank, rods, and pistons installed.
oversize pistons well of coarse are bigger but you will have to take your block to a machine shop and get them to bore it to the size of the pistons you have best thing to do is take your block and pistons to the shop and let them do that for you depends where you live but to get it bored can average to a $100 or up and if you get oversize pistons you will also need rings to fit the pistons and the other difference in oversize and standard the overside will give you more hp.
If you're asking about the compression ratio, it depends on the pistons you choose after boring the block. no, the way you increase compression is by using different pistons, an ,or smaller chamber heads. boring a block increases cubic inches.
It may bolt up but you'll have poor compression with no power, so the answer is no.
main bearings might get i the way The pistons come out the top.
you should be able to just push the pistons up and out. never use air. obviously the pistons are seized in that case. sometime i use the woden handle of a handle to tap them out but be careful when doing this.
This is the diameter of the cylinder hole in the engine block for the pistons.
Theoretically, yes.
The engine block, some refer to this as a short block. a short block refers to the block, crank shaft and pistons.
