Smile Rebuilt 302 Engine Source

I need to rebuild or replace the engine in my 86' F-150. It suffers from blow-by and after checking compression and pulling the upper intake it is evident that the #8 piston has lost it's rings.

I would like to see if there are any good sources for rebuilt engines that you guys trust vice pulling the engine and rebuilding myself.

Any assistance appreciated.

Thanks
