yes,

BTW up to 92 had forged pistons stock if you can find a used shortblock in good condition.

OR ask to have it rebuilt to pre-93 spec with stock replacement forged pistons.

This was not caused by the NOS? This was caused by badly installed lifters? Please explain so we can learn from this mistake. Thanks.

Yep ... you'd use your old block (provided your walls were not screwed up too much). All that happens here is a machine shop will bore the cylinder walls for you 0.030 over bore & he clearances the bottom of the walls to clear the new crank. Machine work should cost less than $600 ... but it all depends on who you go to.

I installed the the x brace that holds the lifters loose, and caused them to move freely

You should price out what exactly you need done first, then compare it. If it's only a couple hundred more, then why not? 347's rock!
