Isky offers it. Just pull them up on the web and shoot them a call. Be sure to ask which size to order for your valves, as w/o a bare/stripped head, you can't cut @ TDC. I believe they recommend two sizes larger than your valve size, but be sure to ask.

I bought the one from Thunder. I cut the accepted max of .080 because I knew I was going to trying some big cams... 2.125 ( 2 1/8 ) OR 2.250 ( 2 1/4 ) should do you just fine, use the 8mm (5/16) pilot valve guide (shaft)...
I have done three LS1s now, takes about an hour after you get a good system down... DON'T get in a hurry no matter what...

It took me 3 times on my first piston because I was afraid of cutting too much. Each time I pulled the head and used a pair of dial calipers to measure how deep the "eye-lash" was. I would recommend the same.

I just did the intake side. "Do you need to", well I am going to leave that question to the vendor you purchase your heads/cam from... too many variables to guess at.
