How to buy parts for an engine rebuild

[Joe.Doty at lcnetwork.com (Joe Doty)]

Hey Dan, make sure you get the following:

Rings
Head gasket set
Bottom end gasket set
Rod and main bearings
Rod bolts
Head bolts
Exhaust and intake manifold gaskets

Not that any of the following are necessary, but this will be a great
time to replace this stuff if you need to:
Exhaust manifold to downpipe gasket, studs, nuts
Injector o-rings
Clutch
Clutch cable
Transmission seals
Shift bushings

What did I forget?
