Finally got my engine out and started to tear it down. Found 3 pistons burnt not through but you can tell the crown has burnt spots all over them. My question is I'm wanting to build build a 500 to 600 hp engine maybe adding a little nitrous later. Should I rebuild this engine, replace the 3 pistons ( I haven't measured the bore yet but there's no wear ridge or damage visible and the mileage is only 189k) or try to find a good used long block? It's a little hard to find a decent used engine out here for less than $1500 - $2000 then I wouldn't know exactly what id be getting without tearing into it. Anyhow advice is appreciated.
