'47 Sedan Gasket Ordering Help Needed

In the process of replacing the clutch in my '47 V8 car. I have slid the rearend back and removed the transmission, leaving the engine in the car. We are dropping the pan today to remove the clutch and flywheel. My question is can anyone tell me what all gaskets I will need to order? I know the pan gasket but not sure exactly what you call all the other parts around the clam shell and such. Will replace the bushings for the rear spring and sway bar and shocks, along with the front and rear motor mounts. Not sure about anything else. I was hoping to order all the gaskets at once so that I would have everything when we put it all back together. Am ordering the clutch assembly from Ft. Wayne as suggested by lots of folks. Thank you in advance for your help.
 
You'll need the universal cover gasket set which includes two paper gaskets, and a cork seal that fits into the groove on the inside of the cover.

This would also be a good opportunity to check and replace, if necessary, the pilot and throw out bearings.
