Engine rebuild kit suggestions, Looking for less than a whole package. Options

[BiG bOgGs]

Hello all! I am just finishing up the cleaning and inspection of my torn down engine, a stock 2.0L 76. I am planning on rebuilding it as a 2.0L with a Microsquirt taking care of fuel and spark. Inside of the engine the only "upgrade" I will be going for is a more modern cam.
While I am finding companies that provide complete rebuild kits, some of my parts like the crank are still good, and don't need to be replaced.
I am looking for companies that will help me build a complete kit around the parts I don't need to replace.

Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Jim

I've heard Mark doesn't really answer his phone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I'm not doing product sales anymore. They're generally too low in the cost/benefit department. But I'm contemplating posting all my 'secrets' instead.

The MicroSquirt is a perfect example, because me selling you a pile of parts skips the process where you learn the how and why. So when something goes wrong you're stuck trying to learn in reverse, which is harder. Then I spend a bunch of time helping troubleshoot the issues and then the cost/benefit really tanks, purely from a business perspective.

So I'd much rather spend time posting the info here, in these sorts of threads, where multiple people can benefit from the discourse -- and hopefully I can learn something from someone else as well.


Okay, back to the engine...
You're starting with a stock 2.0.
-->Your'e rebuilding the 2.0 heads? Ideally you'll build the shortblock and measure deck height before getting the heads rebuilt so you know what compression ratio you're at, in case you want your heads flycut farther.
-->How do you know the crank is good?
Rods should be rebuilt pretty much every time.
