Installing 317's what gaskets?
 

I'm installing 317's on my LS1 short block and I wanted to make sure which head gaskets I need. Can anyone confirm??

use a 6.0l gasket so the bore is correct for the head

4.000" bore gasket

I don't know much about the other LSX engines, which one is it that I ask for when I go to NAPA. Would I ask for a 1999 Chevy truck with a 6.0 liter? Thank you very much guys for the help.

Yep, you got it. Just ask for the 02+ 6.0 truck head gaskets.

Thank you ArcticZ28

Where should I get them? I just called NAPA and they said they are $50 a piece! I had been buying the LS1 head gaskets from them (MLS) for $11 a piece. Are they that much no matter where you get them or are they just proud of these gaskets?

They shouldn't be that expensive. Call up a dealership and ask how much they sell them for. I'm running Cometics on my 6.0 so I never looked into GM pricing.

I called the local dealer, $30 a piece so I just had him order me those. Thanks for the help.

no prob, bit better of a price than NAPA :eyes:

Might want to look into Cometics if you're going to be running a good amount of boost and high HP as well as building up the internals. They're about $75 ea. but they're MLS and they last quite a bit longer and hold up to the high HP better than the GM MLS or graphite.

I already have forged internals and I'm shooting for 600-650 RWHP. Do you call that high hp ;)

eh :P
