Default H/C install, gaskets needed question..

What all gaskets do I need for a heads/cam install? I thought I read in another thread, which I cant find now, that I can get a complete kit from GM to do it including new headbolts..Just thought Id ask so I can save a few bucks on my install..Thanks

Head gasketts n bolts,Balancer bolt, front seal, timing cover n waterpump gasketts.
You can reuse the timing cover n waterpump gasketts but I usually replace them. The valvecover gasketts n intake gasketts are reuseable.

If you change the oil pump then yes a new oring would be nice. I run GM manifold gasketts on my headers and on 3 other cars I have worked on and reuse them with no problems.
