Default Pulled motor???

Well, I pulled the motor yesterday to fix a few leaks and was wondering if there was anything I should think about doing while it is out? I think I am going to get some ARP rod bolts. Is there anything else?

It already has a Thunder Racing oil pump and I have a set of poly motor mounts in the floor right now. I am definately doing the rod bolts. Thanks for the suggestions. Anything else?

What about an aftermarket flywheel? Any advantage to that? Haven't thought about the timing chain. Is that just a straight up bolt on install?

timing chain is so easy, and its less than 50 bucks

TCI flexplate might be a good investment, i did it when i re did everything on mine
