You should be OK with the old parts off your long block......

Carefully remove the bits/ clean and lube, and transplant to the new block and you should be good to go. You should get new injector o-rings and grommets and might need a few gaskets and seals...depends what kind of shape your old ones are..IE the intake rubber seals

You might want to have the injectors cleaned...and replace the thermostat just to be sure..

Why did it overheat??
