Pistons and rings are the same as automotive.
Head gaskets must not contain steel rings in them. Felpro composite head gaskets work great.

i am asuming that all internal parts of the 4.3 engine are same from auto...except for starter,alternator and ignition...

marine cams are of a different grind so they do not suck water back in the exhaust valves.
