1936 Packard 120B Business Coupe engine rebuild

Hello
Hope to get some advice from forum users regarding suppliers of engine rebuild kit for the above.

Is there any credible alternative to Kanters deluxe kit? Their website is a bit unwieldly with ridiculous questions about air cond and manual/power steering! Doesn't give you the ability to specify new tolerances required etc...i.e. 40 over pistons, 20 over mains.

Called them and found they were more keen to get my credit card details than anything else. Despite current ad in Hemmings specifying availabilty of head studs and acorn nuts the reality was somewhat different. May well have just encountered someone having a bad day however would appreciate any advice on alternate suppliers.
Am in Australia so want to get it right and not have to send anything back across the ocean.

Thanks and regards
