need your help deciding

ok i just got a new job and i can afford to fix my ta. #7 pistion has a chunk missing out of it. now before i started taking it apart, it was puffing out white smoke. now i took ofF the heads and it wasnt a bad gasket and i had my heads pressure tested and theres no cracks. i dont think the block is cracked i think its the lining around the piston now im lookin to fix it up and end with 400rwhp or a lil more ,i have 241 heads and the mods in sig whats the easyiest cheapest fix cause im saving for a 12 bolt also?

patriot LS6 heads 228R cam will get you there with supporting bolt ons. You gotta find out if your block is ok first though

hmm i think gonig with TSP's 5.3 stage 2 heads will do what you want best, but your first thing to do is find out what needs to be replaced
