I just received my main and rod bearings, so all I need is to check clearance and assemble it back together. All i need to know is if i can reuse my main and rod bolts, and the (7)bolts that connect the driveplate to the crank?
 
The flywheel bolts should definiely be replaced. As for the main and rod bolts, it's usually a judgement call as long as they are not stretched, based on the power you want to make and their condition. ARP bolts aren't all that expensive though if you want some insurance.

If you do replace them, you'll need to get the main journals line bored with the caps torqued to spec.
 
I agree with calan, but if it was me I would replace them, cheap insurance and peace of mind to replace them.
 
Where would I be able to buy oem flywheel bolts, I've tried searching for them through the vendors but can't find them.
