Default Impala head gasket

Is the .029" 94-95 Impala LT1 gasket strictly a dealer item or if I buy an aftermarket for that application, like Fel Pro, will it be the same thickness?

Not many offerings for LT1/4 head gaskets.

Single Fel Pro and OEM in LT4, LT1, and Impala gasket.

Impala worked great!

No, there was no reason, I just thought I'd get clipped worse at the dealer as per norm. But it doesn't sound too bad, I'll check it out and also the above web site. Thanks fellows.

Oops, link wouldn't work. Anyone got a part # handy so I can do a little web searching?

Wow, $12 for GM gasket??? Felpro is $35 each at Summit Racing

Ooops! This link isn't quite right, do narrow search to "head gasket LT4" and you will find it
