Default 4.7 rebuild kits help

Where can I get a rebuild ket for a 4.7 along with a crankshaft kit. Should this take care of my rod bearing knock along with giving me plenty of more miles to put on the jeep.

Is this worth doing to a engine that has 160,000 miles. Or since my engine has high miles am I better off putting in crankshaft kit to fix the knock and drive it till she goes.

Thanks

The site I have for a crankshaft kit is-http://www.rockauto.com

Do you think any of these would fit in as a 4.7 replacement? I would love to do this... just never thought it would be possible for a decent install price. How big an engine do you think we could fit as a replacement without doing a lot of rearranging in the engine bay? I want that 360 magnum....

Hummm... back to square one. I was really close to considering STS turbos but they seem too dangerous. I wonder how much a custom turbo kit would be? A lot of car forums say under 4k...

I emailed these guys and they said all they can do for our engine is a stock rebuild. they would clean it up but no performance gains...
