LS1 Rebuild kits?
Can NOT find any rebuild kits, is there any out there and which is the cheapest can yall help? 
What are you looking for? Bearings, rings, gaskets, ECT. Not sure if you going to find a kit with every thing you need. Alot of the sponsers have H/C gasket/bolt kits, but you'll probly have to buy some things seperatly.
Do a search. Most sponsors will sell you something nice, check out texas speed or thunder racing, they have good reps. I've bought from both, and they haven't let me down yet. I'd guess prices as follows:
$500-diamond pistons for stock rods/pistons w/file-fit rings
$150-head, water pump, front and rear seals, exh. manifold, rtv, oil pump, etc.gaskets
$120-ported+blue printed oil pump
$100-push rods
$300-springs and retainers
$300-rework heads (stem seals, milling, etc.)
$150-bearings
$100-fluids
$140-new rod bolts
$350-machine work
$150-nice timing chain
total...................................2210
optional:
$1000-Eagle forged crank
$600-Eagle H-beam rods (delete rod bolts)
$350-Cam
$150-arp main bolts
$350-harland RR's
total............................~2450
I've heard sponsors selling Eagle stroker kits for about 2300 shipped or so. this might be the way to go. It depends on what you want to rebuild and what you want to leave, how much power you want to make and so on.
These are just my estimates and are probably a little on the high side, you may be able to get a deal if you get it all through one sponsor. Summit sells the stroker kit for $3600 with no gaskets or anything but rings, bearings, rods, crank, and pistons.
