Looks like you got the gear reduction starter, good. If you ever have to replace it make sure you get a later heavy duty starter for a 6.5L diesel.
Also lose the mechanical drive fuel pump and put in an electric one. You will want this when you have to bleed the fuel system, say after changing fuel filters or if it runs out of fuel.
I cant tell in your picture what intake manifold you have but you should get the non EGR J-code intake manifold.
Since the van is a "heavy duty 3/4 ton" and an 83 you might not be required to have that EGR garbage. Trust me you don't want the EGR on a 6.2L. It will only increase fuel consumption, decrease power and increase the amount of smoke you produce.
