What is the best source for ordering a 60 over rebuild kit that includes everything. I have heard PAW would be one source.

My experience with PAW is that they have everything in stock when you call. Until you get the one item you didn't really need shipped to you with everything else on backorder. I have even called to check stock and told them I was coming right over to pick it up. No stock when I got there, a 40 mile round trip. It has happened to me several times and I don't use them at all anymore. On items that they actually tell you they do not have the time to get the order in is way too long. I have used Summit quite a bit for performance parts and they have always been good. They even refunded $150.00 to me on torsion bars when the price went up and was correct online but wrong in the next catalog they mailed. Lately their prices have all gone up. Rockauto may be your best bet. They have everything in good brands at good prices. If you need to you can call them as well and they are very helpful.

You can also try Northern Auto Parts, I used them most of a decade back when I rebuilt my slant, they are also compareable in price to PAW, but slightly limited on certain "options" (like cam choice, ring choices...etc...)

I got one from Flatlander Racing about a year ago. The price was good, name brand parts, and good service.

I'll second Dave's suggestion of Flatlander Racing. I ordered a set of pistons from them a couple of years ago. Their price was a bit better than other sources I found, the guy I spoke with was knowledgeable and pleasant, and shipping only took a few days. Definitely worth giving a try.

I'll agree with DusterIdiot on Northern Auto Parts. I ordered my rebuild kit through them last year and have no complaints.
