Default Mandatory parts

OK, so I just clarification, What would be needed for a complete engine build?

[ul][*] Block with rotating assembly (crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons)[*] assembled cylinder heads (valves, valve springs, rocker arms, pushrods)[*] Camshaft[*] Timing Chain[*] Oil Pump[*] Oil Pan[*] Intake Manifold[*] Carb[*] Timing Cover[*] Alternator[*] Belt(s)[*] Water Pump[*] Throttle Linkage[*] gaskets[*] fuel pump
[/ul]

Can anyone think of anything else i would need. Oh and btw its a 351W if that makes much of a difference.

lifters,oil pick-up, oil pump drive shaft, harmonic balancer, flexplate or flywheel assuming the rotating assembly includes bearings and rings, the heads include retainers and locks, the timing chain inclides both cam and crank gears, and I'm sure I forgot a ton of stuff.
