Robert,
Yes they sell a rering kit for most engines, it usually comes with the main
and rod bearings, piston rings, and all gaskets needed to do the job.  You
will need to buy the timing set separately.
I get my engine kits from 
www.northernautoparts.com
 
As far as honing, you can do that at home with a drill and hone, but it is
possible your engine is to far warn to be honed.
It depends on what your goals are with this rebuild.
Michael

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Rebuilding the 4.3 B6: Maybe



I am giving some thought to rebuilding the 4.3 that I am taking out of the
Jimmy. Well actually rebuilding might not be the proper term.
If I do this at all, and I don't know if I willl, I again will be doing it
for the simple reason of the sence of accomplishment. I won't do it until
next summer. No heat in garage and not a lot of room. But I digress. What I
am really looking to do is freshen it up.

I have a list of things in my head for what I think needs to be done when
going through an engine like this.
What I am looking at goes some thbing like this

The things I think I would need to replace are all of the gaskets Head,
intake, oil pan, valve cover
Inside I am looking at rings, connecting rod bearings, front and rear main
seals, I think also as long as it is out and easy to get at I should replace
the timeing chain or belt. I think this one has a chain but not sure.

Question is, Can I get a one stop complete kit for this type of job? Also
have I missed any major category?
As I am thinking about it I know I have failed to mention a few small things
like throttle body base gasket thermostat housing gasket and so on but I can
check the list later.
Now my other question is about prepping the cilenders. Can I do this at home
with a drill and a honing stone like I used to do in small engine shop or do
I need to drag it to a shop. I am not looking at boring it out or going with
an oversized cam or any of that Like I said Just want to freshen it up.
Let me know your thoughts.
Robert Moore The sleep shade mechanic.
Really I don't thingk of myself so much as a Mechanic, I call myself an
automotive handy man.
