Do not reuse GM head bolts. They are one time use.
The above comment says if they have been tq too much or stretched, ummm they are TTY bolts so if you install them you stretch them... So I guess in a not so round about way that person is saying they are one time use..
Also who is asking if you have the 5.3 LS or Vortec? Seriously?

everything looks great . . . but the 7.425s are going to be too long of a push rod. You'll need 7.4s.
Ballancer crank bolt ?
the LS1 timing chain is just like what you have now. No sense in swapping it out for the same thing.
If you do decide to swap out the timing chain or the timing chain dampener, (wedge block) . . . then the oil pump has to come off. Use the red O-Ring when putting it back together. If you use any other o-rings, you have the likely hood of having low to no oil pressure on startup.
