engine decision

I have just ordered a FFR and am looking into putting in a 351S w/a tremec 5 speed that is available to me. Can anyone give me some feedback on if this is a good choice? I can get them both for around $5,500.00. The engine is out of a 96 Saleen and has about 10k miles, however the pistons have had the top edge of the pistons cracking & breaking off. The engine will be rebuilt with new coated pistons. What was this caused by and should it be a red flag to not buy this engine? I was going to originally buy a 351W crate engine and put a tremec 5 speed with it. This is my first message on the cobra forum after just signing up after ordering my kit. Hopefully this will be a great source to answer the millions of questions I'll need answered as I learn as I go.
