Am I missing anything? Getting ready to have head gasket/clutch done

HG and clutch are both on their way out in my 3vze.. ive determined at this time the most cost effective solution for my personal situation is to replace the clutch and rebuild the top end instead of swapping the motor for a 3.4 or 4.3....

Anyway, just wondering if theres anything else i should get while im ordering parts.

So far: marlin crawler hd clutch, slave and master cylinder. engnbldr full gasket set and head bolts


Also.. was pondering another idea. I have a 93 runner i use for parts thats rusted to and has a tick in the motor.. thing only got around 10 mpg when i drove it..

Would it be better to pull the motor from my parts runner, rebuild that, and then swap it and do the clutch simultaenously? i know i mis-spelled that word, sorry

How old is your radiator and the coolant lines. I'd at least replace the coolant lines if they are old (as that is cheap) and if you can do the radiator, as working on all of this may cause you to crack a hose neck... My 2 cents. But it looks like you do have a parts truck so thta might be good enough for the radiator (but not the hoses).

I'd be reluctant to use the parts motor as your rebuild without knowing why you got such bas gad mileage on it...
