^^ what he said.. jump on texas-speed and get the camshaft swap gasket kit.

Lifters are not necessary but if you really want to pull the heads then have at it. I would entertain the idea of buying valve seats and seals. You should be set

Dont need new oil pump or lifters unless your car is really high mileage or not working properly. You can change it tho if you have the cash because its better to just do it while your in there.
