The fronts come with the bushing, sleeves washer nuts and those black bushings that press against the body. The rears only has bushing and sleeve. The two bolts on the chasis is what holds the bar pin down. If your doing the shocks try and do BpE one time to make it easier in the future

Here is a thread about a sbc swap, he did it a bit differently than you plan to, but I'm sure it will help you out with some stuff.

And a 4.6 is a built motor. Your pretty much done building it once you buy all the new parts, there's no more power to be made. With sbc, you can make more power super cheap and easy.
