Default Need suggestions for gaskets.

Hi all, I'm currently building a 1998 ls1 with 243 ls6 heads. I'm having trouble finding a gasket set for it. What i'd really like to have is a full gasket set from the oil pan and up. I've read that the original head gaskets are really good, but if not i'd like to get something really reliable. The cylinders are bored to the max at 3.908". Any help or feedback would be fantastic. Thanks!

Give Texas speed a call they put together a entire engine gasket/seal/bolt "kit" for me when I built my engine. http://www.texas-speed.com/default.aspx

^ This

It's much more convienent than peicing everything together yourself plus it cost about the same. I've pieced together gasket/seal/bolt "kits" and I've also ordered through Texas Speed on different builds. Texas Speed will get you covered
