A search would have helped you find that you will most likely want Felpro gaskets and Arp bolts. Stock bolts will work but Ive found that if you get a 12-point bolt, it makes it easier to get a box-end wrench on the bolt since its a tight fit between the bolt and the primary.

I prefer a set of ARP 12pts. I"m not sure how well these gaskets would work on aluminum LT1 heads, but I've had great success w/ my Earl's Pressure Master Header Gaskets.
