all that is mandatory is a cam, valvesprings, timing cover gasket, new harmonic balencer bolt. it is highly recommended to change chain and oil pump, valve stem seals, valve seats,locks, retainer, pushrods, timing cover seal. i cant think of anything else, but go on ls1howto.com and look at the cam and valvespring swap best write up so far

I would change the chain and sprockets and the oil pump. Gaskets are for the most part reuseable. Pushrods and valve springs are a MUST.
