I'd talk to good Mr Guessworks Jonesy. He's the gearbox master of the forums.

or see the gearbox rebuild guide in the FAQ's, shows you everything you need....

but in simple terms, to do it properly.. you'll need

 1st motion single roller bearing
 1st motion spigot bearing
 3rd motion double roller bearing
 3rd motion nose bearing
 Idler bearing
 Layshaft & Bearings (would suggest aa high grade shaft or you original if in V.good condition)
 4 x baulkrings
 Molybdenum competition diff pin
 2 x planet gears & bronze thrusts
 2 x output shaft mica washers
 2 x Steel bound diff bearings
 Central oil pickup replacing the standard oil strainer
 New seals and gaskets throughout plus primary seal
 Complete gasket set required to refit gearbox to engine

The std drops will be ok, but to realised the full benefit of the box I would suggest going SC drops, infact I would rate them higher in order of preference than a SC box.

would also consider an X-pin diff before SC gears..
