Default GM or Napa?
I have a new crate engine and need exhaust, intake, throttle body and any other gaskets necessary. What do you recommend, GM, Napa or some other make?

Thanks,
Tom
P.S. I will post pics as soon as I get her running. Only had her 2 weeks before she died. I was having so much fun cruising I didn't take any pictures. But trust me, she is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I think my wife is getting jealous.

As long as you're getting quality, brand name gaskets it really doesn't matter where you get them. Don't go buy the cheapest gaskets NAPA has, spend a few bucks more for good stuff and it'll be fine.

Felpro, although I have been hearing bad things about their head gaskets, but I can't substantiate that.
