If you haven’t found the rings try Total Seal rings. Talk to kith Jones very knowledgeable. He’s been with TotL Seal over 20 years.

I've used standard 6 cylinder chevy or GMC 6 cylinder engine rings. They are the same bore diameter. 3.5625 or 3 9/16. They come in standard, or .010 to .030 oversize. You will need 2 sets and that will give you some spares. Price is cheap and quality is good on the sets I've used in the past.

Yes, I've done this too over the years. But no one that I can find has .010" oversize for the 194 Chevy 6 cylinder either anymore. I did get one set off of eBay recently, but still looking for another set. 
If anyone can point me to a source for the 194 rings in .010" oversize, I sure would appreciate it!
