I think this is tech, on topic. I have about $800 I saved toward getting my sad lonely car running again. It will cost a lot more than that, but it's a start. Technically that was going toward a new mountain bike, but that's another story 
My question is, do any of you have a list you could share that you may have used to make sure you had everyting you needed for your build?
I have the 347 shortblock sitting in the garage and this is IT, it's time. No more talk, I'm going to start actually buying parts now. I've spent so much money on bikes and plasma TVs and other junk, I could have had this done a long time ago.
The heads will go last since they're going to be expensive (going to get AFR 185cc comps, custom cam).
Mind you, I have a shelf of parts in my garage that I need to catalog to make sure I know what I have and have lost over the past few years. I'm just making sure I'm thorough here, so any help is welcome. Otherwise, I'll type up a list of parts (everything from gaskets to washers to spark plug wires and headers) and get your guys' input on what may be missing. From there, I'm going to start ordering parts and building until the damn thing is running.
Thanks

but the one I actually want is $1300 (and I was getting it for $500 new). I sold my old one to fund it and the deal fell through leaving me with cash. I'll just live with my road bike for now.
So I'm kinda confused at the parts you have. Do you just have an engine and no transmission or anything? What is your goal for the car right now? Just to get it running?
