Mark,
If you search for threads by konstan, you will find them. Maybe worth a PM to him, he can give you the lowdown on how the car is now going. He did complete set of rings & bearings.
If that bore would clean up & you could get some one on here to sell you a good piston, maybe you could get it going very cheap. Probably would be better replacing all rings & bearing shells.
