Head studs or arp bolts. If you get rod bolts you need have the rods resized. Mls headgaskets, not to sure on ring gap. Do a search and there will be lots of info!

You don't have to have the rods resized if you use Katech rod bolts.

I forgot where it was but its here on tech and someone made a thread on the Katech rod bolts. After stretched properly the rods were like 0.025 out of round...

Whats your definition of 'low boost'?
If it is 15psi or less, don't even touch the rings or rod bolts or anything but valve springs.
Turbo size depends on what you goals and useage are, plus your budget

As above, leave rod bolts, dont need to rev the thing to make power, just wind up boost. Definately use good gaskets, arp head bolts or studs, valve springs and id do trunion upgrade for good measure.

Some people do the rings.

I say leave the heads on the oem shortblock. If you aren't pushing this thing you dont need different studs or gaskets either.

I am running this in my 89 s10 was looking at going with Howards cam circle d 3600 stall And probably a 327 gear..I have 410 right now but on open road I'd like it to begin to boost around 2500 all in about 35...I'm new to turbos but don't wanna spray and I don't want it to b a slouch...was looking to keep below 10-12 psi.
