B235R 9-5 Aero and 9-3 Viggen

I have a well maintained 01 9-3 Viggen with 165K miles. The other day while accelerating from rest, shifting from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd and going 40-50 MPH, I over revved the engine. The rev limiter kicked in. The car lost power and died after 7 miles. I removed the spark plugs and the # 1 cylinder plug had the gap wire and electrode missing. So at minimum, I destroyed a piston. I have heard from my Indy that this is not uncommon. Anyone ever experienced this? Any advice on whether I should have it rebuilt or just have a lower mileage engine installed. I've been searching, but have not found a B235R yet. Would a regular B235 work? Or is a B235R build more rugged to handle the extra Aero/ Viggen power?
