Hello,
I need to rebuild the engine in my 58 coupe. There is a company on eBay falcon global that sells a rebuild kit. I'm wondering if anyone has ever used one of these for their rebuild? Are they a reputable company? Or any advice on how I should go about the rebuild of my engine.
Thanks, M.Lowe

My '58 rebuilder used a "rebuilder's choice" kit.   He's an old nascar engine builder.

If you are using a machine shop do the rebuild I would let them source and procure all parts. If something goes wrong it cannot be blamed on customer provided parts. Most machine shops have no trouble getting parts and are better at it than most of us.
