Re: Doing LS Swap - I have no idea what I'm doing!

I'm going to take delivery of the new set-up this week - possibly tomorrow. While I have it on the ground in the garage, it's probably a good idea to go through it, right? Replace some gaskets and such. I'm going to borrow the hoist again to get it in the garage from the delivery truck. I can also borrow an engine stand, or buy one if I need to.

Any recommendations on what all I should look at replacing before I install it?

My list (?):
Oil pump
Oil pan (shallow-er) & gasket
Rear Main Seal
Front Main Seal (?)
Valve Cover Gaskets
Exhaust Gaskets
Water pump & gasket
Thermostat & gasket

Do I need to add the timing cover to this?
