congrats man ws6man should be right behind you. as far as bolts are you talking head bolts? if so ARP has new broached headstuds out, and a GM multi-layer steel headgasket. but you might want to check the valve spacing on the ls2 heads thier designed for a larger bore. again congrates.

Glad your back! Thank you for protecting this nation.

On your questions, if you can swing the money then go with the ARP studs (yes they have them for LS1's.) If you want to go cheaper I'd just buy a set of GM bolts from a sponser such as SDPC or TSP.

Definately do the MLS gaskets if you have the older style, you'll know why quickly

I'd also recommend some header studs, they are pricey but make the exaust install much easier!

Again glad to hear your on your way home!
