Did I get a deal?! And advice?

[WIZ-KID]

Looking on line came across ARP stud kit for $365.50 incl. shipping and tax. Ordered it.(Amazon Warehouse deals) I usually don't shop Amazon. And I do get a lot of stuff on Ebay. But with engine internals I'm a little wary to buy things like rings, bearings, etc. What do you all think? I want to get sources for parts for an upcoming rebuild this winter. Real tight budget, disability check doesn't go too far. Thanks in advance!

For a 7.3 that's a steal compared to what I could find online real quick, for a 6.9 that's about 100 too much.

I'd agree with that.

They had this one selling as "used". Could be open box/re-packaged. Next closest was a set for $432. Then Summit has them on Ebay for $479. Any tips on Internals. Like rings. What brand/compostition would be best with the IDIT motor? Head gasket's another one I question. ARP studs & inadequate head gasket still = problems. So suggestions there are appreciated.Not building a beast. Just want a durable 5th wheel hauler.
