ok, I am currently setting aside money out of my check to build up my 331 stroker, but in the mean time I am going to use the stock motor and just slap some GT-40p's and a B303 cam in it. Before I do this, besides buying the cam and the heads I want to know EVERY single peice I need to buy to make it work so I can get a rough estimate of how much it is, and whether it is worth it to spend the money to do that and run around w/ it for a year or so while I am saving up money.

intake gaskets
head gaskets
timing cover gaskets
head bolts
header bolts
gt-40's i think you can reuse the pushrods. But it might be a good idea to replace the lifters and pushrods. Maybe the rockers too.
timing chain and sprockets
balancer
RTV

thread sealant
5 qts motor oil
2 gallons antifreeze
bottle of cam break-in lubricant.

You'll also need a torque wrench, and that's all I can think of for now.

EDIT: Thought of some more:
feeler gauge
fuel line disconnect tool (if you wanna take the fuel rails completely off)
timing light

They are not roller blocks. You'd need to buy link bar lifters to make it roller capable. Their about $400 for those lifters.
