Default 302 Rebuild Kit

Whats the best 302 rebuild kit for the money? I need a full rebuild kit for a 5.0 out of a 92 GT.

Need to disassemble engine and get measurements. Bore, rod, main sizes. then you can order kit. Forged hyper pistons? What are intentions for engine(use)? Sumitt

I'd agree with Bubba on this one.
Need to pull the engine down and measure things to see what you got.
I've seen some 5.0 EFI work truck motors with about 205K on them have cylinders that were still in factory spec's
It 're-build' may not be as bad as you may think.........

I'd like to build the short block to factory specs. I'm just throwing a set of GT40 heads on it and going with a mild cam so I don't need forged internals or anything like that. Id just like to clean up the block and rehone the cylinders. I'm not building the engine for racing just want to have a nice, quick, and fun daily driver.
