Since you say the budget is tight. You can get mahle stock replacement lt1 pistons in overbores of 20 30 40 or 60 on ebay. A set with rings is about 170 dollars to your door and will save you a rebalance on the crank. Otherwise if you have the cash use a set of mahle forged pistons or srp. If you want to never mess with it again put a set of scat I beam rods in it with 7/16" cap screws. You will end up paying for balancing on the crank with either of these changes though.
Use the stock replacement Mahle pistons and put the extra money to the Scat Pro I beam 7/16" rods. You would spend close to the same rebuilding the stock rods with ARP bolts anyways.
