You might be able to find some TRW forged pistons for that price.

$300 cdn is like what $USD, if you have 882 you have massive chambers. trw makes a baby forged dome (.350") that is only a few tenths of an in and doesnt interfere with valve clearance anymore than a flattop would. It makes 882 76cc headed engines into more of a performing setup with around 10.5:1 compression. the cool thing about them is that if you get nicer heads the compression really goes up :-)
