Ok, here is a good list.

Patriot Gold dual spring kit ($255 shipped from ws6store.com)
7.4 Chromemoly pushrods (pretty much a must & about $110 from TSP)
LS2 timing chain ($36 from TSP)
GM Basic cam bolt & gasket kit ($44 from TSP)

Now that would be about it if you left your LS1 intake on. But if you do the swap then your gonna want the following also.

LS6 intake ($300-350 used on here)
LS6 coolant conversion kit($41 from TSP)

I'd also put back a extra $100-150 for misc. parts, RTV & stuff like that. Becareful with the oil pressure sending unit on the rear of the intake. They usually break pretty easy if your not watchin in.

Dude above pretty much covered it. Id go with new duals if at all possible. Unless the spring have VERY LOW miles.
