GMPartsDirect has the best price, but just by a few bucks. Total is $70.50 plus shipping. Scoggin Dickey Performance Center is very close.

Raging Motorsports(Sponsor) has them in stock at a good cost and only $10 in freight. Don't bother with GMpartsdirect unless you want to get raped on freight.

To the door, delivered price - SDPC is cheaper!
I checked it myself --- SDPC $76.80 including freight, ordered online. The Direct guys $84.03 including freight. And I don't see GMPartsDirect as an advertiser on this forum. Advertised prices isn't everything --- get the totals, get the facts, service means a hell of lot more than cheap prices, IMO.

GM is on national backorder right now for the bolts. SPDC has one set of head gaskets left, as of last night when I ordered mine...
