460 Engine overhaul question
so in a couple weeks i will be getting my 460 freshened up. anyone have a good parts list i can go off of? i have a good idea but want to make sure i have everything before i start. leaving everything basically stock but taking it down to the short block. so far i have gaskets and seals, oil pump, timing chain, water pump, front and rear main seals, spark plugs and wires, fuel injectors, distributor, harmonic balancer, starter, thermostat, PCV, new ARP head bolts and kit. also getting new dual exhaust and debating on regular manifolds or long tube headers? any additional ideas? am i missing anything? thanks

And a little tip, when you pull the engine apart. Get zip-loc bags, and a sticky note pad. As the bolts or fasteners come out, put them in the bags, and write a note what they are for, and what size wrench. Really helps on re-assembly!
