Hey everyone! So I am in the steps of refreshing this 5.0 V8 Explorer motor. I am making the 5.0 Ranger my daily once it is done, so I am going to pull the motor and completely refresh/rebuild it. 

I found a basic rebuild kit from DNJ Engine Components.
EK4114 is the kit. It is $332.15 for the kit. Bearings, Piston, Rings, Freeze Plugs, and all the gaskets and seals.

 I am getting an E303 Cam, billet rollers, a timing gear set, and a high volume oil pump which I personally will be buying individually instead of stock replacements in the kit.

Anyone have any experience with DNJ Engine parts? I can get the same items from my local Advance (heavily discounted. When you're the only girl in town with a Ranger with big baja fenders, you get known pretty well). It would be around $400-$500 (plus I would have to pay Florida tax) for same items. 

I am not by any means trying to go cheap. Just wanted to know if anyone has experience.
