Exclamation head/cam swap gaskets

hey i am about to put on my head and cam package and i was wondering which gaskets are affected with this i have not dont one on these motors(ls1) before. i am planning on changing my water pump and oil pump as well so id like to know what all gaskets i am going to need and which ones are the best. also how worth while is it for now to port the stock intake manifold till i get my FAST 90/90 setup? the 2002 stock manifold is the ls6 manifold right? i want to know if it is worth the money and time till i get the other. any help or advice is appreciated so thanks in advance.

xBrokeX: Thanks for the referral!

As stated we do have a HC bolt and gasket kit that sells for $150. It includes all the bolts and gaskets needed when swapping your heads and camshaft out. We've also got any and all of the other GM gasket and o-rings you could want at reasonable/competitive prices! Let us know if we can help

I would replace the aforementioned gaskets with GM stuff, except for the head gaskets, which I would recommend some .040 Cometics for a tight quench.

Matt(where in texas) i am wanting to bump my compression just a little and i will prolly use the gaskets that BriancWS6 mentioned. like i said i would like to change my water pump and oil pump while i am taking things apart up front and the reason is my car has over 115K on the odo. so i think i could use it espescially when i am going to be creating more heat and higher revs. think you could shoot me a price in a pm or here for the swap kit and the added gaskets to swap the remaining seals for the water pump and oil pump, also for the valve covers and (i believe these motors have a rear seal) the rear seal as well, also .040 Cometics and a new PCV valve if yall carry them cause the larger rubber boot around it has obliterated and spraying oil on the front of my engine. thanks for yalls help.
