LT4 Gaskets?
I'm doing my cam this next weekend. Since im putting on tons of stuff....spark plug wires, spark plugs, fuel filter, water pump, heavy duty timing chain, headers, power steering pump, and a few more goodies...I wanted to buy a full engine gasket set for the LT4 just to have them....since I will use a few of the gaskets anyways. Does any place sell a full kit? I would love Fel-Pro but thats looking out of the picture except for header gaskets. Any thoughts or any fingers that can point me in the right direction?

I'm not sure if you can buy a full gasket kit to cover everything.
I just ordered all my gaskets with Chris at Superior Chevy. Each part I was replacing he knew what gasket I would need.
Be sure you use a bunch of Red RTV with your gaskets.

I would get as many Fel-Pro gaskets as I could, then make up the difference with Chris at Superior Chevy.

You might check with Summit Racing, many times they don't list everything.... Yes as menioned make sure you get RTV for the intake.

Trickflow (from summit) makes a full set, but from what I remember they were kinda pricey..... also call www.thunderracing.com , they had several high quality gasket kits all packaged together for guys doing a cam swap, heads and cam swap, Ect.........Also, I Just figured I'd mention it incase you were unaware, In the future if you decide to change your head gaskets, you have the common option of going with a little thinner head gasket to bump your compression up a little over your 10.8 or so(if you wanted), and even more importantly, improve your quench......the common head gaskets to achieve this are the Impala gaskets which are 29thou thick..and the Mr gasket 5716's that are 26thou thick.....the felpro gaskets are about 39-40thou thick, and the factory gaskets are around 50thou thick.
