I just finished mine and there are a few things you will need. I used anti seize on all of my bolts, you will need a head gasket kit ($100), you may need a timing cover so check if yours is good, throw in a new thermostat since the coolant will be drained and you will have the gasket. The most important thing is to locate a nearby shop that works on heads as you will want to get yours checked and the exhaust valves are probably toast
