Default Where to get a full gasket & seal kit for my LQ4?

Hey guys!
I have a low(er) mileage LQ4 that I'm swapping into my '84 Monte Carlo & I want to go through all of the gaskets & seal on it. So where is the best &/or cheapest place to get a COMPLETE set minus the head gaskets?

Scoggin Dickey will get you setup and shipped to you pretty quickly. I've had many great dealings with them. That's a lot more than I can say of most sponsors I've dealt with on here.

Why email? Call them, that's what I've always done and always had somebody answer. Also great customer service to, not taking anything away from TSP as I've dealt with them to and had a good experience.

This. I've emailed a few companies lately trying to get some info, and potentially spend some money, to get my 5.3 project up and running. I work 60 hours a week and simply don't have the time to call during 'normal' business hours. That, and when I have questions or idea's, it's normally at 2 AM, and they need to be down in writing then and there. An e-commerce business that can't respond to emails doesn't deserve to be an e-commerce business. Just my opinion. Carry on.

My sentiments exactly. The majority of the "research" I do isn't during regular work hours, so making a phone call is somewhat of an issue. The vendors in the 3800 V6 world that I've been into for the past 4-5yrs prefer to communicate by way of e-mail so I have adjusted to using the net for these sorts of things. This is my first venture into the fuel injected V8 world so everything is pretty new to me, vendors included.
