Default Header Gaskets?

Do I just get regular 350 gaskets or are there some specifically for the LS1? I only ask because I can find any in my Summit catalog or at the local Hot Rod shop. What kind are the best and where can I get them? TIA

Default Gaskets

Percys "dead soft" gaskets work pretty good, they are an aluminum alloy of some sort, seal great and they are about 35.00 to 40.00 dollars. I believe Jegs.com has them, or you could check out Percys web site. Hope this helps.

Just buy some new stock gaskets from your local GM dealer...they'll run you about $20 for the pair.....People prefer those over the gaskets that come with aftermarket headers....

Yeah what he said, the General didn't do too bad a job with the gaskets and they'll serve you fine
