Intake gaskets. Rocker box gaskets. Blue Loctite. Throttle and idle cables since you're in there. Breather hoses.

You'll need rocker box gaskets, you shouldn't have to replace the internals. Two exhaust gaskets unless you think you can reuse the existing ones and a head gasket like the one it now has. Possibly the O-rings for the pushrods tubes and intake manifold to heads. That should do it.
