is the block hurt? why not rebuild your current 4.8 with the stock crank and some forged rods and pistons? it's a little more money, but better peace of mind for how hard you are pushing that little motor. hell, bore it and throw in a LS1 piston for a little more cube with the same 4.8 stroke that seems to work so well.

This!! Need to have the steam vents all vented and returning back to he radiator or water pump. That may have prevented those pistons from going. Venting the steam ports helps to reduce hot spots on those back cylinders
