Going to rebuild 5.7 vortec soon

[AlexHawk94]

Hey guys
I'm going to rebuild (or build, since it's disassembled) engine soon and I need you for advice about which engine rebuild kit to choose. I checked rockauto and found some similar kits but for different price and different manufacturers.

First question, what's difference between sealed power and engeetech?

I'm gonna replace all gaskets, bolts, oil pump, hydro lifters, timing stuff, bearings, rings and pistons and some other stuff.

Do I have to replace camshaft ? It seems to be OK but kits include it

Showing some photos of how hard life is in Russia for such engine lol

I am in the same boat! What kits does everyone has experience with?

I have used SCAT rotating assembly kits in the pass and am happy with the performance.

Sealed power is my go to. How did you snap that crank?

Definitely do a cam, Im partial to comp but others are equally as good. Comps site gives you nice info on each product with guides to help in the decision making process, etc.. I say dont do a kit, but that's me. I say do it piece meal sort of... do NOT buy assembled heads, not sure what your intentions are but dont do it... find a good machine shop and visit them and ask questions about their expertise in certain areas, you will learn allot and be better off.
