Okay guys. Many of you know of my woes with my not so good investment on a 1986 F350 Crew with the 6.9. I am going to go ahead and pull this thing out in the near future. I say not so good investment, but even if I put a couple more thousand in this thing it will still be a good investment for the price I got it
I need to know if anyone has bought a rebuild kit, what brand and how was the quality? I have seen kits from $885 all the way to $2700. I have had the whole motor pretty much all apart aside from the lower end already. So, what is my best bang for the buck? The cranks on these things are forged IIRC so I really hope I won't have to mess with that too much other than a polish job. I want this thing running and I want to be driving it!! Hopefully the rebuild will be happening in the coming couple months. And I will try to remember to take pictures, haven't been doing so good with the picture taking part.
Here are a couple kits i have found so far, wanna know what others have gone with in the past.

http://dieselrebuildkits.com/k2/die...e/ford-powerstroke-v8-6-9l-engine-rebuild-kit
and then there is the obvious choices from rockauto and the local auto parts stores. Any good Ebay kits out there?
Thanks
