OK- I'll bite: I also wouldn't use an oil pump fromanother

So your bores have been confirmed to have no ovality and within original dimensions?
You'll also need:
Downpipe to B pipe gasket
Distributor shaft O ring

Injectors to cylinder head O rings
Themostat O ring
Don't forget to have the block and head mating surfaces surface ground before reaasembly.
