Default 6.0L ls3 heads (which gaskets?)

I have searched with no definate answer. Can someone tell me which gaskets I will need to use?

I have a 6.0L iron block that is bored .30 over and a brand new set of ls3 heads. I will be assembling as soon as I get it back from the balancing shop and need to know which head gaskets to run. Also,

I plan to go with ARP head bolts. Which set? Can someone point me in the direction of a part number?

Please and thank you!

I would use lsa-ls9 gaskets if it was mine, Here is the lsa-ls9 gasket part# 12622033 if you want it. If you are gonna boost it or spray it.

Use LS3 gaskets. As for the bolts, what year is the block? It's fairly assumable that it's the old style block and needs ARP 134-3609.
