Message I've heard of people reusing cometic head gaskets but I personally wouldn't do it as I have heard of brand new ones leaking. I would use a stock hg (if it works with your bore size).

I would aslo just go with arp hardware for the head and rods.

Gaskets being replaced will depend on what is taken off and what gaskets get damaged in the process. Most of the really thin paper ones (upper plenum, throttle body, rear main seal retainer, etc.) rip when I take apart a motor especially if you use a dab of silicon here and there to hold them on.

I would replace any crush washers for oil/coolant lines that were removed.

That's all I can think of for now, but good luck with your build!!!
