u don't need any gaskets. you'll need a pulley puller from pep boys. and that's really about it except for like 10mm and 13mm sockets with a few extensions. that's if ur just doing the cam though. if ur changing springs then u need more.

I would defintely replace all the gaskets when doing a cam swap. These gaskets are very cheap and just soon replace them when you are in there. Thunder Racing sells a nice gasket package that includes everything you need for a nice, clean install.
