I don't think I would pay any more for that engine even if you did change out the pistons. I don't know if it is just me, but when I look at something that needs a rebuild I know what it will cost me down the road. When somebody tells me it was just rebuilt 2000 miles ago- I discount the value to fix all the things they didn't tell me about. Like the knurled pistons to quiet the piston slap and all the other assorted 'potential' hidden problems.
And by the way, they should have the oval ports. Many came with low performance "TRUCK" heads. It is easy to see, the word "truck" is cast right into the head. Still makes it a great truck engine, but not what the Chevelle and Camaro guys would want.
