LT1 Gasket Kit? Does anyone know where I can find a complete gasket kit for a 95 LT1? Or for that matter one place that sells everything I need? It is time to put the 383 together

Are the Felpro head gaskets at .039 what you want/need for your build? If not then the kit makes little sense.
The Felpro "conversion gasket" kit CS9966 has the bottomend and timing cover gaskets, the Felpro intake set is decent and very complete, but I actually prefer the Victor Rienz style intake gaskets, since they cost the same and don't include as much they are a little more expensive to use. The Felpro kit has injector o-rings and TB/EGR gaskets where the Victor kit is just the intake gaskets.
Then pick the head gasket you need Victor Rienz sells the "Mr. Gasket" type .026 but better packaged to avaoid the damage typically seen in the Mr. Gasket, the b-body stock gasket usually call the Impala gasket is .029, Cometic has many options starting at .027 and getting thicker, and for a zero decked block the Felpro .039 might be a good choice, but zero decking now leaves no room for later cleanup.

How much is the full kit? If using different head gaskets seems to me the conversion gasket kit, plus the intake kit is only like $80, throw in another $20 for header gaskets and then $45 for the Victor head gaskets and you are at under $150 unless someone can think of a gasket not included in what I am listing.
The prices I am finding for full kits even lesser name stuff are MUCH higher.

Dwayne posted a good tip about that Fel Pro CS9966 gasket ("conversion") kit.
Just get that for $60 and your head gasket of choice and it's a complete kit.
I used to sell complete rebuild kits for LT1's and that CS9966 was the foundation of the kit. (no longer selling rebuild kits)...
