I always order mine from Summit because they're close. But just find one of the sponsors and call them. Ask if they're actually IN STOCK and READY TO SHIP. You gotta ask some of these places, and even then they might not ship when they claim they will.

That's why I mentioned no names.

If you call even a local GM dealer one of them will have them. Just ask for the GM head gaskets for a 2002 Camaro V8. Then when you pick them up, make sure they're MLS (multi-layered steel).
