Its taken out a piston on 6 & scratched bore ,Im guessing over boosted with bigger pulley ,resticted exaust ,low grade of fuel used buy prev owner .Il give them a ring for a quote tomorrow .Wonder if I could bore block out to 3.7 bore size or would I have to replace all six bores ,get 6x E55 pistons .balance & throw back together? The cheaper option finding a low km second hand one for now.But would love 3.7

Please take this discussion to a regional forum. jk 
When I had damage on cyl#6, my cam shaft was also damaged. The last lobe had acctually moved. Check your cams before putting it back together.

Yes you would need to do all the stuff you mention to increase displacement. I would personally strip it down to the block. You might find it can be repaired, new pistons, sleeve the cylinder in question and put it back together. I would much rather have a rebuilt engine than a second hand one (if it can be rebuilt). At least you know what you have and the condition, 2nd hand is always unknown. Where in NZ are you? How much boost were you running?

Not sure how much you are looking to spend, but check out this web site. www.car-parts.com They list more than a few C32 and SLK32 engines starting at $2500.
