I'd consider a new timing chain, and an underdrive pulley if you don't have one. And if you don't already know you will need a puller for the pulley, a new crank bolt and preferably a pulley install tool. Also a safe way to lock the flywheel or pulley while removing and installing it. I used a tool from summit for this.

Looks like you have it all pretty much wrapped up. Good luck with the build and we are waiting for the numbers. Oh you gotta have a tuner also lol
