Swap?

I'm swaping my stock 98'ls1 heads and cam for ls6 heads and cam. I'm trying to figure out what other gaskets should I replace along with the head and timing cover gaskets?

Head gaskets, timing cover gasket and seal, water pump gaskets. Do you have a ls6 intake, or headers?

If you can spend a extra $300 I would get the ls6 intake. Also depending on the condition you might want to get new gm exhaust manifold gaskets. If you have never removed the intake before becareful when pulling the intake forward... The big vac hose from the back of the intake to the brake bosster will brake the oil pressure sending unit. Just put your hand behind the intake when sliding it forward and direct that hose above the sensor.
