get the 1284 "printo" ffel pro gasket for intake
you doing a cam swap, right?
if so you will also need a new pan gasket unless you don't rip the old one and can clean off the rtv to re-use.
many also replace the oil pump drive shaft with a metel one from ARP,

Change the valve guide seals when you change the valve springs. Fel Pro p/n SS72861. Also I would reccomend you install a new oil pump drive stub GM p/n 1103868, that way you'll have new gears that can bed in together to avoid the cam chewing up the old oil pump drive gear.

I dont know if you ever pulled the crank hub but I would suggest you read a few how to's because It seems like a lot of people who do cam swaps run into issues pulling the crank hub.

Are there any last things I'm forgetting to get that haven't been mentioned in this thread? I'll be following the guide by Shbox. I'll be starting at the end of this week.

Update: I got the cam swap done. It was definitely tough but I got it all done with little help so that's good, especially being a highschooler. One issue, it seems to idle high. It definitely doesn't lope like many other hotcam cars. I had the idle set at 850. Also when I'm shifting, I let off the gas but the car stays revved up and starts to slowly drop after 10 seconds or so. Is this something to do with the intake gaskets? I know I had overtightened them so I backed them out and re did them. Would this causes them to be smashed down and not seal properly?
