Depending on mileage (80k+), a HG, oil pump, timing chain and ARP headstuds would be recommened. I replaced all of the above for my build at 160k miles, but the timing chain had already been replaced once at 100k. Getting these items replaced adds a ton of reliability. Cost is around 400-600 in parts and alot of labor.
I'm going to do a write up soon of all this, I have a ton of pictures, just need time to write it all.
