What's the best L98 rebuild kit for the money?

Any of you guys who have rebuilt your 350 TPI engines, what kind of kit did you use, and where did you get it? Also are you satisfied w/ it? I found an L98 IROC in good shape for a good price, however the engine is in need of a rebuild. I'm trying to save as much money as possible, but don't want to sacrifice quality. As always any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad

I noticed you haven't gotten any responses yet, you may want to add a littl more to your request..i/e, if this is just a stock rebuild, that won't see any abuse, there are many inexpensive "kits" available, that will last as long as what GM installed.

If you're looking at upping the output, there are several places that offer performace minded kits as well, that take all the guess work out of choosing manufacturers.

Then there's the serious rebuiler/modifier, who will pick each part individually via experience or research.

I guess what I'm saying is you could spend $300 bucks or $3000 for parts, and both would be reliable, depending on what the intention of the rebuild is for.
