Default What Extras needed for Head Swap - from 98 to 5.3L

Just wondering what extras parts will be required when
going from 98 perimeter heads to 5.3L centerbolt heads.

I know Valve Covers, Coil Pack Brackets, gaskets, but is there anything else?

The PCV is different on the centerbolt heads.

I have a friend that works at a dealership so I got them from him at a reasonable price. If you plan on doing a solid-roller in the future (and don't want to run spacers) or just want a better appearing engine bay than you may want to consider aftermarket valve covers. There's no point in buying the same part twice. It's cheaper to do it right the first time around.
