No, if the block is in good shape it won't have to be bored, just honed so that the new rings will seat properly. You will have to have the rods shaved to fit inside the piston though.
Consider going to P30 pistons instead. They offer about 11.1:1 compression which is suitable for pump gas, plus you don't have to shave the rods.
