Well, you're probably going to need a few head-related things, too.
Like new valvesprings, new valve guides, new valve stem seals.
If this rebuild isn't going to be a rush job, you can usually jump into it, and buy the little things as the time comes.

Heads

If it is a 93 350 out of a truck it can have either the heavy duty heads or swirl port heads. The swirl port heads are unanimous with blowing head gaskets and they dont flow that great. I dont know what a camaro eng. comes with as far as heads bu these are some of the crappiest heads chevy built. You would definitely need them surfaced.
