you'll need head gaskets if you plan on pulling them to take out the lifters. coolant as well bc you'll have to drain the radiator and take it out. and just as an fyi incase you didnt know, its TRUNION not REUNION upgrade....

If he is dropping the motor out there is no need to take the radiator out of the car. You will however loose a lot of coolant when you pull the hoses, and take the heads off, if you are going to do that.

Since you are taking off the intake manifold becareful of the oil pressure sending unit that is back there, it might break.
