Default Finding engine parts

Hi guys. Time for my first question.

I'm about to start tearing into my newest Blazer. It's a '94 "W" code Vortec 4.3 and I need to rebuild it. I'd like to find a complete engine kit, but I haven't been able to find anyone who has one. I'm going with some high performance parts so I've been looking at places like Summit (who don't even list my engine) as well as the standard parts houses. Anyone got any tips? My local options are very limited since I live in a small town. (Even the large towns in ND aren't really large. lol) We do have a NAPA, but I've never been happy with them. And even when I went to their web site they don't even seem to have complete listings (they don't list a '94 S-10 Blazer 4x4) I'd rather do it in one kit to try and keep the cost down if possible. About the only thing I want to choose myself is the cam. Otherwise a good .030/.010/.010 kit would be great.

Thanks!

Any retail parts store will be able to get you a master rebuild kit, with or without pistons. Try Advance Auto or Auto Zone. They will be able to get it for you no problem.

Or, if you want it already done for you, here's an option.

Thanks guys. I called the Advanced in Fargo and was told they didn't have the one for this engine. Only the TBI engine. JCW is ok if you're looking for inexpensive accessories. Not much for specific engines like this though. That's a pretty good price on a reman. Kinda blows my plans if I go that route. But it's something to think about. Of course freight to ND and the core charge have to be added in to the cost.
