Ryan,
Just take the broken piston to Hamilton's machine shop, He is the best Ford engine guy in San Antonio. He can identify the piston and order a match. All of this talk about ARP rod bolts and resizing the rods is a bunch of bull. ( We are not talking NASCAR here) You will only be turning the engine about 5500 or at best 6000 RPM. If you take another undamaged piston they can match the piston weight and no other balancing will be needed. You will have the same enging that you have been driving. You can put it back on the road for less than $400 bucks. Save Your money and buy a 351 stroker next year for your kid's birthday.
P.S. make sure you do not have block damage ie, scrapes and scratches
Hamilton's Shop is at Mission auto parts 2918 Roosevelt Av. Phone 921-2803
