Default gaskets/bolts needed for heads

I'm putting a new LS1 in my TA... the heads are off the new engine. What gaskets/bolts will I need to get this thing running, keeping in mind it still isn't in the car. Will I only need 2 head gaskets and a new set of head bolts?

are you just doing a head swap? if so then you'll just need 2 head gaskets and head bolts.

Bigdsz is correct you can use the #'s he posted or we also have a head kit that wll include everything but the installation!! We have cam only install kits, head only install kits, or head & cam install kits. Let me know if I can help in any way!!!

I'm putting a new LS1 in (complete engine). The heads are off of the new motor, so I need to put them back on. Is this all that I'll need to do it?

By the way, thank you very much for the part numbers!
