Hi Colin.

Probably an expensive way of doing it, but I got a complete set for Gearbox/Bell , Diff, Engine Mounts as well as all engine ancillaries from ARP. Took me a while to figure out all the sizes and required strengths (Engine Mounts). Get them in US if you can they are much cheaper

FredTech:

Care to share that list :D I've considered something similar, and the thought of tracking down each individual bolt hasn't been too appealing.

Hi Dave. There are quiet allot, if you want to go really "Bling" and do the timing-chest / oil-pan etc...etc... I'm away at the moment, but back home next week. Think I still have the list I made up in my ARP catalouge, along with the reciepts etc which might help you source the cheapest supplier, least ways, the cheapest I could find, in US.

The down-side doing it this way is that its often cheaper to buy a pack of 5 when you only need say three, of a certain size, so you do tend to have some left over.

I'll drop you an E-mail with what I can come up with next week Dave.
