Where can I get a gasket set for my LT1?

Is this a dealer item? I want to get a full gasket kit to assemble my 383, but Autozone doesn't carry it, and Napa doesn't either. So I tried order the gaskets separately, but the timing cover kit only comes with the crank seal, not waterpump and distributor seal, what's with that? Is this going to have to be a dealer item? Everywhere I go, they try to sell be small block chevy stuff. They just don't understand that I need special head gaskets and timing cover gaskets.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Any online places I can order from?

Thunder Racing has 3? different gasket kits for the LT1 and a couple for the LT4 too for head swap, cam swap, head/ cam swap and what not. Comes with all you need, header, head, timing cover gaskets etc.

Thanks man, exactly what I needed.




What's funny is that stroking the motor seems like it's cheaper than buying everything else that this motor needs.
