First answer this, why are you rebuilding?
1998 Chevy k-2500 454 147,000 miles and climbing!
1993 Pontiac G/A Big Block 3.3 Liter 140,000 miles and still going too!
I've got 230,000 miles, and it's still running strong, but I'm just curious because I plan on having it for a while and would like to know anything anybody knows about rebuild kits.
Welcome aboard!
You can rebuild, but....
Save yourself a bunch of hassle, time and money, and plan on a take-out from a wreck. It's just too easy, compared to an overhaul. They go through Ebay all the time for less than 6K, complete. Watch for one, and snag it when it's convenient (like not when you really need it). Preserve and store it, and it's only a weekend job to swap it out when the time comes. When you figure the time and expense involved, it'll cost less than 1/2 of an overhaul, with fewer surprises.
