LT1 Gaskets

Where can I get a good set of Gaskets? Nothing fancy, pretty much stock. I found a set on ebay for $175, seems a little steep to me..

Give Dal at Van Devere Olds a call, he will hook you up with all the gaskets you need. 1-800-362-9494

If you are pulling the heads get a set of Impalla SS head gaskets. They will give you an extra ~1/2 point of compression.

The reason gasket sets are so high for these is that many of them come with new head bolts which the manual states are one use items. You can get a Felpro pan gasket set, front cover set, intake set and the GM Impala head gaskets. This will be much cheaper and will probably save you enough to buy a set of ARP head bolts and they are reusable.
