Default Gaskets.........

Guys,

On a '94 LT-1, what all gaskets are needed for a head/cam swap, and
where is the best/cheapest place to get them?


Thanks.

Don't reuse the head bolts! Get ARP head bolts.

Gaskets there are several to chose from.

I went with factory Impala head gaskets to help my quench a little.

Here are your choice of head gaskets for an LT1: (the info below was provided to me by Christian M.)

> 0.026" - Mr Gasket # 5716
> 0.029" - GM Impala SS # 12553160
> 0.039" - Fel-Pro FEL-1074
> 0.046" - Mr Gasket # 5715
> 0.049" - GM Camaro, LT4 # 10168457


You will need head, intake, throttle body, EGR, air pump & exhaust gaskets. And a tube of "The Right Stuff" for the front/ back of the intake.

Also possibly the rubber seals for the rear coolant bleed tubes in the heads & the little donut thingys on the bottom of the factory headers if you are using the factory exhaust
