Default GM parts, which vendors?

I need to buy engine reassembly supplies, gaskets sealant etc. Is there a supporting vendor that sells genuine GM gaskets etc at reasonable prices. I really don't want to go to the dealer and pay those prices.
Thanks
Roger

I have had good luck with GM Parts Direct, an online retailer. And, also GM Parts House. Typically one or the other is a bit cheaper, but it goes back and forth, depending on the part.

The Forum dealers are usually good, but some kind talking with our local dealer gets me "trade" prices on most items; I have to pay local sales tax but no shipping and usually quicker delivery. Convenient to be able to look at the parts diagrams as we are ordering.
YMMV.

I am not sure if you are referring to us or not as I have looked through and don't see any unanswered emails. Perhaps we didn't get it. You can email me at Patrick@cultragperformance.com
