As far as the cam goes what route are you looking to go? Shelf cam or have something custom ground from any number of companies...

Gaskets, Every gasket I have replaced has been with felpro gaskets and have never had a leak, though Ive never used their head gaskets so I cant help ya there.

ARP everything. Refer to BLS when you think ARP isnt necessary.

The comp cams timing set is a good piece. Saw the one you are looking at buying last week and its a nice piece.

One thing I havent seen you mention is a fuel pump. Definitley would recommend at least a Walbro 255. Aeromotive also makes a nice unit but is more $$.
