Exclamation i need HELP BADLY!

so a few days ago my 95 camaro started blowing white smoke out of the pipes. i have determined it is a bad head gasket. since my car has 165xxx i figure if im gonna do head gaskets i might as well rebuild it. i would like to know who has rebuild kits for lt1 and how much i can look forward to spending. thanks.

yea prob time for a complete rebuild with that kind of milage.......id reccomend doing a budget rebuild........stock crank, stock rods just put arp bolts in them.......mahle power pak for pistons and rings......balance it bore it .030 over.......stock heads with new springs retainers locks......inspect the valves......put a new set of ls7 lifters in it......toss a small cam in it and enjoy!!!.

just my opinion though lol..............you will probably almost definatly have to bore the motor to clean up the walls and cut the crank with that kind of mileage........just a forewarning.......honing and polishing may not do it by itself
