Economical source for oversized pistons for B5254FS rebuild?

Hi,
I've removed and torn down a B5254FS engine from a '96 850 GLT parts car that I just bought. Original problem appears to be a blown head gasket, with water in the oil and cylinders. Other than badly rusted cylinder walls, the engine appears to be in great shape and a prime candidate for a rebuild. Two of the cylinders are rusted beyond hone-ability, meaning boring or re-sleeving. So, I started shopping for oversized pistons. I found some, but ... very expensive - over $100 each, even without the ring set. Any pointers or advice on where to purchase oversized pistons at a reaonable price for a rebuild would be greatly appreciated !!!!
Thanks,
John Silvey
