When putting a motor back together what bolts can be reused and how.. do I find out all the bolts and gaskets I need? Not talking about the head/header bolts. I am trying to find all the little bolts I need and gaskets. Is there a link somewhere that might be helpful. I have been on sponsor sites and they mainly have head/header bolts and gaskets. So far I have head, header, oil pan, front and rear cover, and water pump gaskets.
Its a miracle that I finally have my shortblock in my garage and need to get this damn thing in my car!!
Thanks

Bolts you cannot reuse are
Head
Connecting Rod
Harmonic Balancer
The rest should be fine, and you can even reuse the listed bolts if they are ARP and within spec.

I got a head/cam gasket and bolt kit from SDPC that had everything except the rear engine cover gasket and rear crank seal. I got a seal from Napa and had them press in the front/rear seals.
