Bolt kits:
ARP from Summit, head, main, rod are the most important kits. They also have assesory bolt kits (intake, timing cover, oil pan, valve cover, header, water pump and thermostat housing) available too, you'll just have to ask them to look up the part number as it isn't listed in their catolog.

there's a lot of stainless bolt kits on ebay. actually you can find quite a few amc v8 parts there

valve covers you can get right here in the e-store

If I might make a suggestion. A stock 360 or 401 will fit in place of the 304 and with s simple freshen up overhaul will outperform the 304 even a moderately warmed 304. just something to consider.
