Need a head gasket for lq4 with ls3 heads

Im looking for a head gasket for lq4/ls3 combo with 4.06 bore [or whatever i need so they are not in the chamber] and .040 compressed. I cant seem to find one. Anybody know where to find one?

Also what head bolts should I use? n/a build so stockers will be fine

Thanks

Not sure what the # compressed is, but I am running the LS9 head gaskets for my setup; it's a 7 layer gasket
