Default What do I need?

I am going to get rid of my crap 806 heads and get a set of PP 241 heads, but I'm not sure what I need. I am going to stay stock internal for a while, so I was thinking just upgrade the valves/retainers. Can I just wait to get the valves, rockers, and pushrods until I do the cam swap? Not necessarily looking for specific companies, I can do more research on that later, but it wouldnt hurt.

I know I also need center-bolt valvecovers, head gasket, and new coilbrackets.

I would save a little more $$$ and do the heads and cam at the same time. As far as springs go, try to choose what cam you want so you don't under spec the springs, also decide if you want dual springs or singles. Titanium retainers would be good too. Push rods you'll want hardened. I would add a ls2 timing chain set, new lifters and trays, and a ported ls6 oil pump to your build list.

Eventually(maybe next summer) I am going to do all that with the cam swap. I was just wondering about the different heads.
