Yeah get the #162 casting, the small valve c-code heads.
They get good fuel milage and don't crack like the later large valve heads.
Idealy you should get the J-code, stanadyne #4911 injector pump. It can shoot more fuel into the engine and do it faster than the c-code pump, it also has the fuel pumping capacity to keep up with the added air from a turbo.
Out of the 5 intake manifolds you can get for the 6.2/6.5L serries I have tested 3 (C,J and F code) and believe the J-code manifold is best.
