the BEST writeup is on ls1howto.com.

really best and most efficent option is just buy a "camswap pack" from a vendor, just go with whoever you get hte cam from. they USUALLY include springs, pushrods, most gaskets and most bolts. just ask that particular vendor whats in their pack.

absolute must have's though are springs, gaskets and harmonic balancer bolt

I agree with RedRally. I would take a look at the cam swap right up on ls1howto.com and just get a cam package from one of the sponsors. I'll post up a list that someone gave me a few months ago when i started to order my parts
