That's a nasty looking piston. It will be interesting to see how the bore cleans up. I once had a Chevy 283 that I disassembled with the motor in place due to oil burning. I fitted new rings and reassembled. One bore was scored, probably worse than yours but I didn't want to spend the time and money to pull and repair. I probably got another 50-60k out of the motor before that cylinder started fouling plugs frequently.
