Anyone have a COMPLETE list of parts needed for a Heads/Cam swap?

Just want to make sure that i get everything that i need all at once.

I'm talking about any and all gaskets, bolts, lubes, fluids anything and everything.

Just wanted to see if anyone complied a list when they did their swap. Most likely im going with the cmotorsports gasket set but other then that, i wont have anything else.

Thanks guys.

Off the top of my head...

Gaskets: Heads, intake, timing cover, water pump, EGR

Seals: Opti, Water pump, Crank

Tools: Balancer puller, Fuel line disconnect tool, assorted sockets (including spark plug socket), breaker bar / air tools, valve spring compressor, torque wrench

Parts you might not have thought of until you pull them off: Timing kit
Head bolts (pref. ARP)
Header bolts (i.e. Stage 8 locking bolts)
Crank hub bolt (not necessary but nice to have)
Radiator hoses
Oil Filter

Fluids: Oil, coolant, and containers to hold the stuff you drain out.

Lubes / misc. goop: RTV, Thread sealer, blue lock-tite, anti-sieze compound, grease

That list should save you a few trips to AutoZone and PepBoys.
