Opinion on RX7worlds rebuild kits?

Hey guys, I'm starting my summer projects soon. A tranny rebuild, and possibly (funds permitting) an engine rebuild/port job. Tell me what you guys think of their products, and your experences with them

Tranny: http://rx7world.com.phtemp.com/catal...ts_2819123.htm

Engine: http://rx7world.com.phtemp.com/catal...t__2209383.htm

thanks guys

I use RA.
Their basic kit is similar to the above, and it includes the sealants for $478.50 shipped.

I had a FPR hose blow off & it detonated pretty bad last month.
The seals held..

I use RTV instead of gaskets on everything except the exhaust.

I would go with the Atkins Kit C. Comes with the FD springs and hard corner seals thermal pellat and hylomar. But then again I'm paying pineapple to rebuild my engine with a large streetport so I guess I would actually go with that. Lol.
