You won't need a t-loc if you're swapping out the whole rear-end and yes buy the 4.10s for a GT. As far as the flywheel and clutch I would think you'd still be getting parts for the V6 since you'll be putting them on what is still a V6 transmission, just with a GT rear differential. Someone else with first-hand experience will chime in though

Right - the 8.8" rear end already has the Tlok from the factory. Since you now have the 8.8" rear end, you buy the 8.8" gears - if you buy the 7.5" because you have a V6 they won't fit!
As far as the other end of the drive train - you didn't swap the transmission so you still have the V6 transmission and engine so you buy for the V6 still. All that changed is that you have a different sized differential at the back of the drive train on the other end of your driveshaft.

Get the gears for an 8.8" GT rear end.
You need the cobra pinion flange
and a replacement pinion crush sleeve when
installing it on the GT rear end.
Get the clutch and flywheel for the V6.
You coulda saved a few bucks and got
an 8.8" rear end with the 4.10s and the
required pinion flange already installed.....

The crush sleeve is $7.99 at LRS, this is a one time use part that sets the pinion depth when it is installed and 'crushed' to set the pinion at the correct depth. This is definitely a job for a gear expert. I'm not sure about the flange but I think I have seen them for around $20... The flange is installed at the same time as the sleeve.
