That piston is a gonner. The heads will need a valve job now too cause the little bits if pison will get pressed into the valve seats. Then the valves will not seal right. Expensive mistake.

NOW THE BAD PART
After a few good runs the truck started missing and blowing white smoke out the exhaust. After talking to a few techs over at whipple and being told the motor was blown, we discovered a little oil leak coming between the head and the block. Can this be the head gasket? Any opinions are appreciated!

Ouch! Glad there was light at the end of the tunnel, ie the 6.0L At least you had some fun before the carnage.
Good luck on the 6.0L install, let us in on the results.
