Bolt kit

Hey so I'm Def a noob here, I've been searching for a complete bolt kit to rebuild a 3.8 sitting in my garage. Anyone know of one? I was considering covering it to a manual till I found how much work was involved. I'm not lazy but it's just not worth it to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
 


I feel I should clarify. I hoping to find a place that will have every bolt I need to rebuild to motor. From crankshaft bolts to intake. The works. It'll take forever and cost more than I want to pay buying separate kits to fulfill the task thanks again
 
arp sells the bolts. but most are re usable. like lim, blower, oil pan, timing cover, water pump, rear engine cover, exhaust manifolds, and so on.

heads crank and rod bolts are the only ones you should change.
 
I would not open the bottem end up if it's not been a issue in the past.

The second you remove a main cap or rod cap, you'll have to get the block machined.
 


I savvy I'm a industrial mechanic I bought the car a year ago and the guy sold me the "spare" block intake heads AND transmission. The trannny is finished but I want to build the motor in my garage and THEN swap it out. It will be ready for boost I just don't want to buy one set at a time. Thankyou for the heads up for ARP I'll hit them up

Post in the WTB forum or pick one up in the junkyard. They can typically be had for about $100. Some guys say they get them for $30 but the pick and pull yards down here sell them for $93 with the core charge. They are fairly quick to pull and takes about an hour if you take your time. Don't forget the bolts.

No problem, you would be surprised GTP's, Bonneville, Regal Gs's and PArk Ave Ultras pop up in the JY all the time here in fact I can throw a rock and hit a W body in the yards I go to.
 
I envy you, if only I could fit it in my pocket. I will keep searching one will pop up eventually might end up going the turbo route but the cost of tuning and all that is a turn off. I just want a Lil boost! I don't need 30 psi lol
