Any other bolts needed?
I'm getting the remaining stuff for my engine rebuilt. But want to make sure I don't miss anything.
I started with a shortblock and will take what else I need from the engine in the vette. But I wanted to make sure that I don't miss something I should get new, etc.
Here's what I am looking to get.
o ARP (or Summit or Ebay) engine bolt kit. Can't decide between Allen head or stainless hex heads.
o Oil pump stud
o Timing cover (alum. or gold iridite) & pointer
o harmonic balancer bolt
Anything I may be missing? Do the engine bolt kits work with the short water pumps we have?
Thanks.

I used the ARP 12point Stainless bolt/washer kit and they all worked fine.Just use anti-seeze especially if you are going into aluminum. A little extra effort can save you a bunch of pain/time/aggravation down the road. I used anti-seize on everything unless it required thread seal.

Thanks for the tips.

> to flywheel bolts.
I've picked up a set of head bolts previously. The carb bolts are reuse from
the existing carb. The tranny, flywheel and clutch bolts all are relatively new
from when I replaced the clutch 2 years ago.
Will check the headers - what's the standard flange thickness to ensure the bolts don't bottom out ? I'm going to be using hedman headers. If I don't get the allen head kit, I'll get separate allen head bolts for the headers.
Anything else?
Thanks.
