eBay. Although, there's lots of A8 engines, no S8's
at the moment. On may show up yet. Otherwise, try calling some junk yards:

<a href="www.dadsauto.com">Dads auto</a>
Long shot:

You can pick up a set of new pistons for $1200, and each valve is somewhere around $35.
FWIW though, the guys on my forum have never seen a piston damaged so badly that it needed to be replaced. Most just had dents from the impact of the valves. I doubt finding a complete S8 engine will be easy, though I'm sure a place like VAST (or someone that imports parts) could find one for you.
