Question Gasket help?

I'm in the process of doing a cam swap on my LT1 and I was wondering if anyone sells a complete top end gasket set(timing cover gasket, opti seal, water pump seal and gaskets,egr gaskets,tb gasket, intake gaskets, and valve cover gaskets)?

Just trying to figure out if I can save some pennies over the dealers cost.
Also, anyone know the part number for the LT-4 valve cover gaskets, dealers asking for vin number that I don't possess? Thanks in advance guys.

AZ has a complete Felpro gasket kit for the LT1, I think it was ~$177 last time I bought it, it has everything.

I think its cheaper to go and get all the gaskets at a nearby parts store. I just did my cam install and got all Fel-Pro gaskets from Autozone. They have a timing gasket kit and an intake gasket set. Then all you need is valve cover gaskets.
