Default 98 GT Timing Chain Kit

The timing chain is starting to rattle a bit and i'm getting ready to put it in the garage for the winter. Planning on putting new guides, tensioners, chains and gears, on over the winter. Here's the question where and what should I buy?

Rock Auto, summit racing, advanced auto, auto zone, ford, prices are all over the place, pep boys let me know what you think

I would lean towards buying one from one of the performance builders to make sure it works reasonably well with foot heavy drivers. I think the builder below sells chain kits although I haven't used of them myself-

Be careful and make sure to get the right one, I know there were changes over the years.

I think summit is one of the few places that actually sells all the pieces in a kit. I would avoid Ford, they're apparently super proud of that stuff and want ridiculous money for it.

Thanks for the info, i clicked on the link to modularmotorsportsracing.com and they only provide parts from FORD unbelievably cheaper than my local FORD Dealer, don't make any sense. Anyhow i am considering a timing set from Pep Boys.
