I would try and find out what made that cylinder fail. You might be able to fix it for under $20 with a spark plug wire or push rod. Don't run it on 5, you'll just do more damage.

A good valve job and porting and polishing of the head will probably give you more power gains than oversized pistons...if you want more power just throw a mild cam in it and call it a day. You'd be building a six for torque rather than HP anyway...
