When you say that you're buying a block, do you mean literally the block itself, or do you mean a shortblock with the crank, rods, pistons, rings, bearings, etc all assembled?
Will you have the remains of some other engine to work with, or are you starting from scratch? If you're starting from scratch, you'll need heads, valve covers, valves, springs, cam, timing set, lifters, pushrods, intake manifold, the rest of the intake (throttlebody, MAF, etc), sensors, oil pump, water pump, alternater, ECU, coil packs, plug wires, plugs, and goodness knows what else that I didn't list.
