Rebuilding an M20

[Rob]

exactly. If it runs well, replace the stuff that's easy to do, and maybe to a top end rebuilt for safety sake, replace all the rubber in the engine bay or on the motor, belts and lines and such, and call it a day.

If you're going to tear it down completely, at the very least throw in a td crank in there to gain some CCs

This is what I am saying. Thanks Rob for ellaborating on my thoughts.

Do you guys think I should just replace the pistons/rings, call the bottom end good, and focus on the top end?

If you do it with high compression custom pistons, sure, if not, leave the bottom end alone.

I can't imagine dropping loot on new custom pistons and leaving the motor 2500cc's, seems like a waste to me

Well, I think I've decided I'm going to stroke it afterall.
