OK, here are my plans... I'm looking to push about 15-20 psi on the street and about 25 psi at the track on race gas. Here is the shopping that I have already taken care of:
JE pistons (9:1 compression)
newer D16 block (26k miles)
resleeving with JE
LS rods
Stock D16 head

I'm going to transfer everything from my current turbo setup to the new motor setup.

But what head gasket should I get for a d series block?
And should I upgrade the stock crank?
Should I buy a new cam?
What am I missing?

All tuning will be done with gruvytune!!! Sorry, I'm really excited because I just made arragements to buy all of the toys above and I can't wait to get my car to where I have wanted it for a long time.

Seems to me that you would want better rods than stock LS rods. With everything else you are doing makes sense to me to spend the $$ for a nice set of Egale or Crower rods.
I don't know much about cams, but I personally would leave the stock one in place unless you know of a specfic turbo cam for your motor that makes power. ( you have seen a dyno graph )
Good Luck!

What about the crank? Do I need to upgrade that? And what size headgasket should I buy?

go with an inline pro or cosmetic head gasket, works nice. lowers compression some..definetly get eagle rods. I would keep the crank stock as well, maybe have it polished..
