You can have them order the pistons and rings or order them yourself. Have the shop bore the cylinder to the +.5 spec (a good shop will not bore the cylinders until they have the new pistons in hand).
Then take all the parts home and put it back together with new base and head gaskets.
Adjust the valves
Done
You should be able to get pistons, rings, cylinder bored and gaskets for a little over $200.

Close.
OEM Pistons, rings, piston pins, circlips, gaskets, etc. were a little over $265. This did not include S&H, or boring.... honing in this case.
FWIW - I am the one doing the work. Decided to replace both pistons JIC there was heat damage to the "good" one. Honed the cylinders, still fell within the service limits, so decided to go back with std. sizes.
Everything is back together but another issue has popped up we're working through.
