Default $240 enough?

I'm trying to find out if I can get my car back together with the $240 I have left. For those of you who don't know my oil pump shaft twisted in half messing up a few parts a while back. The engine is completely apart in a storage room in the house. The only thing I have bought for it so far is a crank, rods, & pistons. Now I still need: all gaskets (including 2 upper to lower IM gaskets), oil pump, oil pump shaft, rod bearings, main bearings, & piston rings to my knowledge. Can I pull this off with $240? & Is there anything else I need?

For anyone willing to help on this issue, thank you.

Yeah, it will be close, but I think you will have enough.

Should I order all the gaskets in a kit, then buy the two for the IM separate, or order all of them separate? I'm going to try to get everything from summit. Sound good?

get a full gasket set or a head set, oil pan , and timing cover gaskets and I think thats all you'll need. I assume also you went with a hd pump shaft this time right

Havn't got the pump shaft yet. If I can afford it I'll get one. Are they expensive?

no like $12 or something for the hardened ones I think. just be sure to get Fel-pro gaskets - at least for the head gaskets
