Need good rebuild kit for 2.8

Looking for good rebuild kit. So I was wondering what is pretty much I guess I would say "best" rebuild kit for the 2.8 engine. Seals, pistons, ect. Maybe even a performance kit if anyone has ever had luck with one. So if anyone has any good rebuild kits they have used then tell me. Thanks.

just be carefull

I order alot of my parts thru northern as well, just be carefull, the reason why there so cheap is they purchase lots of items, where one might have been bad, like a piston for example, all your parts might be perfect, execept for one with a micro crack that you wont find till your up against the mustang and you romp on it and your piston shatters.

Since you are going to have the bottom end open anyways, drop a 3.1 crank in there and you will have more cubes.
