I would not assume you need a full rebuild. It is possible a bad AFM killed one piston. I would remove the head, and it is possible you can get away with replacing one piston and rod, with a new set of rings. Especially for a 2000. If your objective is to build a super Aero with extra boost, then go ahead. But if you just want a reliable daily driver I would go with a used piston/rod, new rings and a ball hone. All done in car.
