Default Need help LS2 block with LS3 heads

I'm about to crack open my motor to replace a bent valve and lifters I'm curious what parts i will buy for ls2 vs ls3

Block is ls2 heads are ls3

Lifters?
Head gaskets?
Pushrods?

Anything I'm missing?

Thank you!

I did it. Need 8 offset LS3 rockers and an intake. Head gaskets are a given, pushrods, lifters etc are optional.

Thanks for the info, however I've already got a ls2 block and ls3 head, I'm curious if the parts you mentioned are all interchangeable and if not what motor do I order the parts for?

I'm cracking my motor open, I bought it already the way it is. But it's time to refresh some things

The parts you mention are all same except the head gasket. Get the LS2 because of the bore and thickness.
