***want to buy***
MBRP................ check SCT Xcal2 ........ check VF mounts Adj. Dampers ... check Meford's Mom.... sale pending 
How do you think?
Try DOMS auto wrecker or standard auto wrecker, however if it was me, i'd be pulling the head to see what went wrong. If theres no damage to the block then just get a ported head and put it on....probably good time to do the bottom end too....bet it would work out cheaper than buying a new motor...

2 things probably have happened:
1. Bent/Broken valve. 2. Piston head damage. Maybe some damage to the cylinder head but you may be able to get away with it. If i were you, take the head off and have the mechanic/engine machinist take a look at the block, head, and piston for any problems. From there, they'll be able to decide what needs to be replaced.

Do what Oscar said, theres no point in spending 2-3k on a motor when you could get a P&P head new valves and possibly pistons (?) for cheaper. Not to mention the motor is Gauranteed to work and aint no stock POS. Even if you dont want to go with a P&P head pistons valves etc, rebuilding it is still cheaper. I bet the block is fine.

If that's so, the block will need to be bored and you'll have to put in oversized pistons. And referring to piston, i mean piston head. The piston rod should be fine.

if he did acutally drop/stick a valve then you can bet it made contact with the piston.
Your best bet is to start taking it apart then just address it as you go

Do a full valvetrain upgrade at this point. Replace what needs to be (if there is anything to be replaced) with the pistons/block, and put a high flow head and valvetrain designed for higher speed/ stress...
