So what is the best engine rebuild kit? I done searches! No good answer the best answer I found was RPM kit with OEM parts but what OEM parts are you guys talking about? Is there a better rebuild kit? Going stock might have to do a slight bore idk yet.

What is the best gaskets to use?

What is the best kit?


Thanks Andrew

Shops tend to cost more also how do you know when you buy a "rebuilt" motor it's actually rebuilt.

Do you know of any place you can buy a reman motor?

ATK is a well respected rebuilder.

freegdr is correct. Reman longblock is the way to go for most.
