Default would you run this?

i picked up this LS1 short block a couple of days ago, the motor is pretty spotless. i knew it was like this when i bought it, im not sure how it happened i think someone might have dropped it when they took it out. i tried finding a stock replacement piston but i cant find one because this motor has floating pins and all the stock pistons i can find are press in. so what would you do? this is going in a street car

X2.... NO

Try calling some sponsors they might have some sitting around from another engine they swapped forged pistons in to.
