Default Engine rebuild kit

Hello, was wondering if anyone knows where to buy a good engine rebuild kit for a 98 5.2L 318 magnum, I've checked on summit but the application says up to 96, I've check other locations but they seem to be not trusted or not a good name. Would appreciate any info. Thanks.

How much of a rebuild are you planning to do? Are you planning to re-use your existing pistons or are you planning to go with oversize pistons? After consulting with the machinist you plan to use, you might also check Jeg's, Mancini Racing and Hughes Engines for your parts.

Depending on what the machinist says, if there’s no major issues with the block, I’d go with Hughes. Have a lot of stuff for the Mag’s and great customer support. Haven’t had any issues with them yet at all.

Hughes has a ton or negative reviews out there for doing sketchy stuff to people. Unfortunately they also seem to have a better selection of 2nd gen parts than most other places, so it makes it hard not to buy from them.
