cam and roller rockers

Could somebody please tell me what exactly i will need when i do this swap, you know like additional parts or hard to find tools. I am planning on using the powermax 2030 cam and magnum 1.6 roller tip rockers.

Valve cover gaskets?

Timing gasket set. Might as well chance the timing chain, and rebuild the distributor with a new pickup coil. New wires/plugs/coil, while you're at it.

I'd prolly rebuild the heads, too. New gaskets, springs, guides, locks, seals. That's just me tho.

Taller Valve covers.
Valve Cover gaksets
Intake Gasket set
timing chain gasket set
I belive the 2030 comes with new lifters.

I agree with doward on the distrib rebuild, only another hour or two, and like 15-20 bux.

Inspect timing chain before you take it off, install a new one if remotely question it.
