I have a 383 LT1 short block from a 94 Z28 that needs new pistons. The build has about 20K miles and one piston has a hole in it from a broken valve spring dropping the valve onto piston #3. This build has very nice machine work and plenty of good parts left. It consists of a Scat forged 3.75 stroke crank and Forged Scat H-Beam rods. The crank is knife edged and the rotating assembly is balanced. The block has been clearenced for the ARP rod bolts and longer stroke.

When the valve spring broke the valve bounced up an down on piston #3 until the valve broke and the stem popped through the head of the piston. The valve didn't do any damage to the cylinder wall. There is a slight scuff (see picture) but it can barely catch a finger nail. A hone would likely take care of this or the block could go .010 over to 4.040 bore.

I have receipts from this engine that show nearly $7000 in total receipts. There was nearly $1500 in machine work on the short block. The rod doesn't look bent (see HQ picture) and this could be a cheap way to get a built 383. I'm going the LS1 swap route and don't care to rebuild it myself.
