you'll need to buy is an LS head gasket, oil lines for the vtec, and a P72 ecu and that should pretty much have you covered, then just swap out the heads

GE makes a nice conversion kit for that set up, all u need is a vtec head and a couple fittings.

Replacing the rings and rod bolts would be a good idea too, and if u plan on swapping out possible rod/piston combo since the motors going to be torn apart.
