Looking to send the plenum and injector housing out for porting. Possibly injectors out for cleaning while I wait (was going to ask you guys thoughts on cleaning/flowing them?) and eliminating the secondaries. Pretty much it I think !!
Just put the PN in the search window to go to each part listed below.

GASKETS
# 10168684-X Plenum Gasket Set, Thick 3/64"
# 10225120 Injector Housing Gasket Set
# 10168677 Coolant Outlet Pipes Gasket Set (Removed when porting)
# 17112267 Throttle Body Gasket Set (Removed when porting)

SEALS, Option 1. If you are flow testing & re-using your injectors, I recommend replacing all of the injector o-ring seals with new, Viton. The original O-rings are now over 20yrs old & have taken a "set" from being compressed. In addition, ethanol blended fuels are now the norm, as opposed to 100% gasoline. Viton is better suited for ethanol than Buna-N.

# 17112222-24V Fuel Injector Seal Set (24)-Viton (upper, all 16 inj, lower sec injectors (8)
# 10067600-V Fuel injector Seal Set-Viton (lower primary injectors, located inside the injector housings (8)
# 14104675-V Fuel Feed & Return Block Seal Set (2), Viton
# 14104675-9V Fuel Pipes to Rails & Regulator Seal Set (9)-Viton

SEALS, Option 2. If you are buying new injectors from FIC, they will come with the upper 16 and lower secondary seals (#17112222-V O-rings (24), so you will only need the following.

# 10067600-V Fuel injector Seal Set-Viton (lower primary injectors, located inside the injector housings (8)
# 14104675-V Fuel Feed & Return Block Seal Set (2), Viton
# 14104675-9V Fuel Pipes to Rails & Regulator Seal Set (9)-Viton

Additional
Should you decide to due a full engine valley clean-up, I would recommend removal of the Crankcase PCV Cover, to replace the gasket, clean oil from tapped bolt holes & bolts and re-install with Loctite 243. I also recommend using Loctite 243 in the injector housing bolts.

# 10168682 Cylinder Case PCV Vent Cover Gasket
# LOC1329837 Loctite 243

If you decide to pull the Cam Covers;
# 10067538 Cyl head Cam Cover/Cyl Head Spark Plug Well Seal Set (8)
# 10135851 Cam Cover Bolt Seal Set (48)
# PB A136 Permabond A136 Cam Cover Sealant

Optional:
# 10000083-SS Top Side Stainless Steel Bolt Set (85 bolts)
