I have a 1293, freshly honed and totally bare ideal for a turbo. Guessworks has some pistons to go with it. In Scotland though and would be about £30 for postage each.

Could do with a spare 1380. Is it a freshly bored or honed block??

if its missing the mains then its scrap as the main caps are matched to each block very preciceley.
