This is a list just going off memory aside from the cam, carb, intake, and the normal sets of metric and standard sockets, wrenches, universals, etc. May be stuff I missed, but this is R&R a cam in my head and what I normally replace...
-Lifter puller, oil primer drill attachment
-Valve springs, valve seals (int & exh), spark plug air tool, valve spring compresssor, and pencil magnet
-Timing chain gasket set (water pump gasket included)
-Harmonic balancer puller, 3 jaw gear puller (if replacing timing chain), balancer installer (threaded stud with a bearing), propane torch (again, if doing timing chain)
-Since the oil pan is already loose for the timing cover, and distributor is out. I use this time to jack the motor up and replace the oil pan gasket is its old and showing signs of leaking.
-Intake manifold gaskets, RTV, lock-tite, gasket scraper/razor blade and TQ Wrench
-New plugs since you need to yank them for the springs, wires/cap/rotor if they are old
-Cam lube, timing light, oil and filter x2 since you need to break the cam in I think
-Valve cover gaskets (again if worn/leaking)
-Timing light, antifreeze
-Then ill top it off with a tune up like pcv valve, fuel filter, belts (if worn/cracked), thermostat + gasket
Im not sure, if its reccomended to replace the lifters, when you swap a flat tappet cam. I've only delt with roller
that or a crows foot. Not that big of a issue there.
