6.9 Blow By

I am going to buy an engine from some one that has excessive blow-by. I think this means that the rings are shot. Is there something else I should change after buying the engine. I plan on changing gaskets as well, are felpro gaskets good or should I try another brand? Paying 400 for 6.9 idi and the 4 speed T-19 attached to it.

First define "excessive", the ring design in the IDI makes a lot of blow-by by design so even a new engine will have quite a bit.
