need FULL engine gasket kit... If building an ENTIRELY new engine (new re-sleeved block), I assume I'm going to need EVERY gasket on the engine.....
Does anyone sell that as a package (give me one of these) so I make sure I don't forget something and how much does it cost (about)?
I don't need any GM bolts (main or head) as I will use ARP studs.

Re: need FULL engine gasket kit... I was in the same boat and couldn't find anything. I ended up getting the best price at www.paceparts.com I had the parts in 2 days too.

Re: need FULL engine gasket kit... I ALWAYS consider gaskets as one time use (except for valve cover...)....I figure I'm going to put AT LEAST $5K into a motor, whats ~$300 for all new gaskets.....

Re: need FULL engine gasket kit... yeh, I agree.
I did buy a new timing cover gasket and upon removal from the package discovered it was cracked.
I re-used the old timing gasket and it has not leaked; a testiment to the re-usable design, however.

Re: need FULL engine gasket kit... At this point its still in the planning process but I KNOW I'm going with a 4.125" bore LS6.
I'm still looking into if I should just go with MTI's dry sleeve block or have the guy that did my heads (engine builder) do a wet sleeve (Darton) block.
The stroke is going to either be stock/3.622" (388CI), 4" (427CI), or 4.125" (441CI) depending on what I untimately decide I want to make (hp) and spend.
