You will need pushrods (LS6 cam base circle is smaller)
retainers
valve seals (might as well)
I would also do:
Timing Set
Oil Pump
Thermostat (highly optional)
LS6 Intake (optional)
As for spring, LS6 spring will be fine at stock rocker ratios (1.7), but if you go to a 1.8 rocker the effective lift will be .587. At this lift a 918 spring becomes highly reccomended because you are outside the LS6 springs design parameters.
