Probably get a few more people's help here!:D

Personally, I'd do headstuds while you have the heads off, and maybe a set of reman injectors depending on how many miles you have on those ones.

Red loctite, thermostat crossover gaskets, couple O-rings for oil fill tube and heater pipes, O-rings for the injector sleeves. You might be better off just getting that kit from Merchant Automotive. Comes with everything you need unless you are like me and pull your heads off and discover that there are pieces missing inside your driver side head.

My injector balance rates look great (all under 1) so I decided to salvage them. I'd love to do head studs but don't plan on ever doing more than 400HP and have 4 girls in school! $$$ :confused:
