what else will i need for my head/cam swap ok so i have been gathering parts for a while now and here is what i have so far...
afr 205s milled to 62cc with 8019 spring upgrade, afr 6016 cam, .040 head gaskets, arp head bolts, timing chain set, arh long tubes with catted x-pipe, oil pump, fast 90 and ported ls2 tb, yella terra ultralites, pushrods and crane billet lifters.
i am thinking about getting a cam degreeing kit but am not sure which to go with. can you check ptv clearance and cam degree with the same kit.
i still need to get a front engine seal (GMPN 12561244), and i would like to pick up a longer crank pully bolt if anyone has the part number. I will pick up the fluids i need locally, but is there anything else i should order before i decide to start this project
any input is appreciated... so far i have been doing a bunch of reading on ls1howto.com but am open to advice

Launching!
Plus one on the lifter trays. And, I didn't see any fueling upgrades...but adding higher flowing heads and a more aggressive cam over stock will need a better fueling setup. If you were running just a cam I wouldn't worry about it. However, since you are doing the Intake, TB, heads and cam, you will need at least bigger injectors and maybe an upgrade fuel pump to ensure proper fueling, prevent fuel starvation and to make sure you're not putting to high of a duty cycle on your injectors. Other than that, I think you're good.

These are the better LS2/LS7 versions but are a direct bolt in for an LS1. They are a sponsor here and I have been real pleased with their Customer Service. John is great to work with there.
