neither, timing chain cover gasket, new crank pulley bolt, etc, etc
go to SDPC2000.com they are a sponsor here, if you look around in the LS section you can find a gasket kit for cam swaps
Good luck

geese...dual valve springs for that little of a cam.
but the list above looks pretty good. a few things ill add to it are:
By saying "rod" i guessing you mean pushrod??, if not you will need those
New retainers
Pick up some extra locks(keepers), you will loose some. trust me. they are only like $1 a piece anyway.
