I would swap in another motor that you found and rebuild the one you have. Motor rebuild is not too bad and not that pricy. You'll probably need the crank ground and everything measured after tear down. I just saved my 301 before that happened but it looked like it happened in the past as well. I spent about 100$ for machine work and about the same for a rebuild kit which included piston, rings, rod, valves, gaskets, seals, points and a spark plug. Im sure you know this but Honestly if you take your time and do it by the book it's pretty straight forward, that is if you ever have time which we all know is very limited for some of us.Good luck
