So with this kit, what needs to be bought as far as the bottom end goes to finish the rebuild with everything new?

I bought the kit, then some clevete engine bearings, some of that black gasket maker stuff that you can get that goes into a "clalk gun" permatex makes it and that was about it. The kit is a pretty well done. Also since I only honed my engine I got the stand bore set.

I bought it. It's what i am using now. Everything came in and worked great. I am still breaking the motor in (600 Mi) but so far so good. I boght good rods and a crank of ebay since I had a bent rod and scored crank. see my sig for details For your info a good running stock LT1 bottom end can take a 175 shot for quiet a while.
