clean, hone, re-ring, find another piston from a donor motor, or pick up a cheap ebay kit.
might want to look for metal shavings in pump and gallaries and check out the bearing's to see if any wear damaged when the piston went.
not a total loss can be done for cheap if you did every thing and slap it back together, or could be expensive if you have people properly rebuild the engine again.

I'm taking it back tomorrow or tuesday to the machine shop to see what I can do.. I have another block with JE pistons but I'm going to see what that will need, I know that it needs to be bored over. I'm just affraid of putting in another motor with these NPR pistons and rings. How do I test for the fuel injector driver?? If that went out wouldn't more than one piston look like this though?
Well the injector driver can't be fried as he would have cylinder #3 meltdown also as they are on the same circuit in the group firing of the injectors, and as much fuel smoke it was putting out under heavy load I doubt it as a whole it was leaning out. I tested the firing of it back when it was a bhg right before the new short block and #6 was hitting everytime, not saying the driver in the TCCS wasn't overloading and missing under a hot load though. My theory is either the one injector quit for the moment or under boost the cylinder was experiencing heavy blow by and the boost under compression was forcing the fuel past the rings into the crankcase causing it to lean out that way. That or it was all leaning out across the board and it being #6 at the hotest hole it just was the easiest for the cutting torch to go to town on. 
I think this can go back and forth till the end of time, its just so hard to diagnose something over the interwebz sometimes.
Sorry bud, wish I was going to be around when it all comes back together so we could make damned sure it doesn't happen again.
