ok so i had my motor melt down on me and the rings are no longer around pistons...lol...idk exactly why but ehh no biggie...
basically i have picked up a block thats already got the sleeves installed with the oil pump gears and all that fun stuff, arp main studs, eagle rods, JE Pistons, and ill be swapping my crank over...
now when i put the block together all i need to do is get the main and rod bearings as the ones in the car now will not be reuseable correct? i want to get the clevite ones so i have something upgraded in that area for my own ease...anyway will i need anything else besides the head gasket? i am gonna get an LSJ one cuz i have read that they are one of the upgrades from the reg old L61
and before i put the head back on i have the comp turbo cams and my supertech valvetrain to install....down the road i am gonna get a set of gm adj cam gears and balance shaft deletes but right now its just not in the funds...
anything else i am missing because i think i have all the bases coverd...

You will need to replace ALL the torque-to yield bolts and I'd replace all the gaskets you come across as well (front & rear main seals included). Unless I missed something, looks like you are on the right track.
well i was planning on all the gaskets and seals being replaced...
and as far as torque to yield bolts the only ones i know of are the main bolts that hold the crank in and the crank pulley bolt...
i will be getting the ARP main studs so that im not worried about and then the crank pulley bolt is simple to get...are those the only ones i would need to worry about?

The head bolts are a one time use. I'd also replace the oil pump while you're there.
