Default Engine rebuild

Looking to rebuild my 4.7 L Cause my oil pan is rusting to all hell, plus i am leaking oil from the front cover near the crank pulley. Also think i have some sticking piston rings cause get alot of grey smoke if the truck idling. Was wondering if there are any good rebuild kits you good peoples can recommend that would have all the seals and parts to rebuild this monster? Not sure if info is needed but the truck / motor have over 220,000 miles.

Don't know about full kits but can tell you that worn valve stems seals will cause your engine to smoke. Make sure you do those while you're in there. I used Felpro seals and the truck had 300K at the time.
