My block in currently at the machine shop and they are going to assemble it pretty soon.This is my first motor build and I need a little help. As soon as they let me know what the cylinder wall diameter is going to be after cleaned up, i am purchasing my pistons and rods. For them to fully assemble my short block I need to purchase pistons and rings, rods, arp rod bolts, arp main studs,arp main bolts, cam, flywheel, crank pully, timing chain, .....

What else do i need??

A bottom end gasket kit will come with pan gasket, water pump gaskets, front cover gasket, rear cover gasket, front and rear main seals and a few other O ring gaskets....its around $250, but worth it, plus you will need two head gaskets....your intake gaskets should be fine to reuse
