was looking at the federal mogul kit on summit racing part# csmhp766-000. would that be a decent rebuild kit for just a standard lt1. if not please post up other sources. thanks

Why do you want to rebuild it?

That is a good priced kit if you can go back stock.
However, in my view the cylinder walls can show little wear, but the crank typically needs ground in LT1's over 100K. Around here a crank regrind is approx $89-129.00, cheap insurance.
I would get the kit for undersize crank and rod journals, unless you are buying a new stock journal size crank. You need to look at your crank to determine bearings needed.
