Default LS9 Head Gaskets

CRAP! I am trying to locate some LS9 gaskets as I am getting ready to assemble my motor and NO ONE has them in stock. Apparently GM has them on back order and they cannot provide a promise date for when they will have some!!!

Anyone have any ideas or have any? Part# 12622033.

I'm in the same boat. There are a couple dealers here in Texas (Dallas and Houston areas) that have them for $61 each. Mac Haik in Houston still had some, or they did when i called last week. Check them out
