ARP cam bolts

Water pump gaskets
IWIS single roller timing chain
Melling high pressure oil pump
SRD bushing trunion kit
Appropriate valve springs
4130 Hardened chromoly push rods
ARP cam bolts
ARP crank bolt
Timing cover gasket
Timing cover seal
Water pump gaskets

"It sounds great"
That's not the sound of power, that's the sound of an engine strangling on its own regurgitated exhaust gas. It's the opposite of low speed power.
When you see "3,500 minimum converter stall" ask yourself "do I always want to drive in traffic above 3,500 RPM?"
Cam-too-big makes the car a misery to drive.

Formally Simplɘ Jack
If you're doing a cam swap, it's highly recommended to swap out everything else while they're down there (timing chain, oil pump, etc.) regardless on miles. And def get a tune soon after install, all great advice here.
