Default Engine Rebuilding Kits?

vehicle- 97 Dakota 5.2 auto



Some time in the future I will be rebuilding my engine I guess when I hit 200k miles. I believe my bearings in the engine are worn and other issues. My question is what is a good website or place to buy an engine rebuild kit for the 5.2? I'm looking for high performance parts, strong gaskets, and mods to turn my engine into a meaner beast. (parts that are better than factory.)


BTW I did search google and found a few websites, but maybe someone here knows a website I didn't see.

Thanks

Hey neighbor! I am looking for the same and from East Stroudsburg. Where you from? Do you have a reputable mechanic you can refer me to?

I have bought a lot of stuff from Summit Racing and have no complaints.They sell great products and shipping is fast.

X2 for summit racing, great products and fast shipping! Might also want to look at Northern Auto, they usually are a little cheaper than most for the same kit you will get anywhere else. Also might want to talk to a few local machine shops and see what they can get them for if you will be taking your engine to someone.
