Rebuilding a 3.0

Rebuilding a 3.0
My first time here, this is a great site. I bought a 90 4x4 with a 3.0 and 5 speed. It was losing antifreeze. As there was no sign of fluid loss outside the motor. I tore into it and sure enough the head gasket was leaking by. My question is i want to build a good motor with good parts. There are so my brands to choose from, which are the the top of the line? Also are there any tricks to getting a good seal for the HGs.

Thanks I sent them an email about the brand parts they use. He had a fast reply. Said they use Rock parts. No idea who that is! lol I guess i've worked on too many Chevys.

If you are actually contemplating an engine swap, then take a long look at the 3.4 section in engine swap. It would be a far easier swap than putting in a 22RE, and it will give you better power AND milage than the 3.0.
