Rods, pistons, rings? rod bolts, head bolts, Main bolts, rod and main bearings?

Are you going to have head work done? are you going to have machine work done to the block? Have you built an engine before? Are you going to have the crank journals polished? Do you know how to measure for proper bearing size?

You ask if us if you have everything, but you like things like "all the goodies" and "ETC." That isn't very explanitory, you should list all the parts you have and all you plan to do to the head, and block.

The block is built its Chamukos old one and it’s already built for low compression... The block is going to be checked with a machinist to see if it needs work... everything is already done... just wanted to see if I was missing anything else that I should buy new.... The block that he is selling me had not been used too much it’s been sitting for longer than it has been ran... Thank you for your replay...

You def. want a set of ARP head studs and I wouldn't do a thing to it until it's been checked with the machinist you mentioned. Pulling a motor out after working on it for weeks b/c something blew sucks. Happened to me twice.

only reason for removal is for the 2.4L thats going in.

Block built and balanced to 9k rpm. Only 2k miles on her.

JE pistons, Eagle Rods. All mopar oem parts for the acc.

Just the gasket kit and maybe some anerobic sealant if you want to double check things yourself.

You can check it yourself with some of my feeler gauges and a straight edge, or take it to the shop. Doesnt really matter, I would do the same.
