GM Impala head gasket part # and where to buy?

I've done a search and can't quite find what I'm looking for.

My ELP went out on my Impala SS and I didn't catch it in time before it overheated. After cooling down it runs but blows white smoke out of the exhaust. I'm hoping that I just blew a head gasket and may have to resurface the aluminum heads. Can I get a part # for the GM Impala SS head gaskets as well as where is the best place to buy them? I know Dal is out of it now and that's where I used to buy all of GM parts. I would greatly appreciate any help. I'll buy ARP head bolts from Jeg's as well as my other intake gaskets, etc. but need to know where to get the GM head gaskets.

Thanks!

12553160 is the p/n for the thinner .029" gaskets. But if I were you I'd go for the MLS Cometics. Pricier yes, but they are far more robust than the GM gaskets and can take a serious beating.

And for finding them cheap, Google shopping shows a ton:

I also suggest the 134-3601 ARP head bolts.
