Find a good used one here, or Eckhoff's in New London, MN has exchange ones, or one of the other cylinder plating places could either fix it or possibly exchange it.

will it run if i put this one back on it

Probably - but it's hard to say for how long. Might go forever - might go for a few minutes. Fix it right. Good used jugs can be found all over the place for $100 - $200. Re-manufactured/exchange/repair will run $225 - $300 depending on the route you take.
 
it isnt missing out of the actuall cylinder just the little extension that comes out of the bottom there are three of them on is just chipped in half
 
its likely the rear skirt of the cylinder, if you run it without it, youll have engine failure from the piston rocking around and not supported at BDC, I would definitely not do it!
 
panther u should take some advice from the guys here and take this to someone who has some experience with sleds it will save u alot of money in the long run. as ruining a weekend out with ur buds with a breakdown being towed back and if not ruining ur cases u deffinately need some hands on guidence but anyhow good luck
 
Good advice here, especially from mrviper700. That is what those "extensions" are for - to keep the pistons aligned in the bore at the bottom of the stroke. You can replace just the jug now, or you can run it as is with a very good chance that you will destroy the whole engine (cases, crank, pistons, and jugs) $100 or less now, or $1000 later.
