All you absolutely need is the cam, lifters, gaskets, oil and a filter, but there's a lot you can do while it's all apart.

Gotta have the cam and new lifters.
You'll almost certainly need the valve springs too; at least one of your stockers will probably break before you get backed all the way down your driveway with that thing.
Timing set, who knows,; when you get to where you can physically see your current one, you have to be the judge. I'm guessing .... you'll decide you'd like to put in a new one.
Other than that, it's pretty much a drop-in. At least in the short term.

A double roller timing chain will require some modification to the block for clearance.
