You need new head bolts as the factory ones are Torque To Yield ( non reusable)

Alot of guys upgrade to ARP Bolts at that point.

P/N 134-3609 in stock if you need, $150+ shipping

Head gaskets of course, Id maybe put some new lifters in since you're there already.

the valve covers have removable o-rings. You should be in good shape with them.
