Best Prices On Parts This is probably not the correct forum, but I did not see one that was any nmore appropriate.
I have a bunch of parts I need to purchase, LS9 head gaskets, other gaskets, sensors, etc and found the best prices at GM Parts Direct but the shipping chagre is so outrageous, it negates any deals. Shipping was almost $40 for about $155 worth of parts that would fit in a box just a tad bigger than the head gaskets. Are there any other vendors with reasonable prices and shipping?

For this you will just have to shop around. There are a good many parts that can be picked up at a local place such as Advanced Auto Parts, Autozone or O'Reillys. There are a ton of great sponsors that you can see on the right hand side of the screen that will carry the vast majority of whatever you are looking for.

I'm in the middle of a full engine re-assembly and replacing every seal and gasket, so I know what you're going through...
I found about half of what I need on WS6store. They have good prices, free shipping on orders over $100, and no sales tax because its in a different state than me.
Most of the other half I found on summitracing. Their prices are good and shipping is cheap, also no tax.
TSP probably has the best selection, basically every seal and part on the engine, however the shipping is extremely high and I have to pay sales tax.
Local auto parts stores will also have some of it, but in my experience their websites are more time consuming to search, and they dont always carry gaskets with GM part numbers.
Hope this helps, good luck.

Do you want it reliable and fast or slow and cheap?

I've found that GM Parts Direct can be cheaper, overall...but not always.
But the same vendor doesn't always carry all of the parts I want. Or, you go to Jegs (or any other vendor), and one of the parts pushes your total bill beyond what someone else would sell those parts for.
If you have the time, wait & watch for sales.
Sometimes, Ebay has the parts I'm looking for, and they're much more inexpensive than others.
