Anyone have a comprehensive list of gaskets needed for a head/cam swap? It's getting to be 'That Time' and I want to make sure I have all needed parts.

-new injector o rings(assuming you going with bigger injectors)
-intake manifold
-valve covers
-head gaskets
-Valley cover if swapping to LS6 style
-Steam vent gaskets
-water pump
-Cam retainer(comes with gasket on it)
-front timing cover
-front cover crank seal


Pretty much everything but the oil pan gasket. I don’t think I forgot anything. I’m a firm believer in change it while it’s there. You may be best off using one of those felpro kits and just using different headgaskets, ones specific to your goals.
