If you want to use then the block and heads will need to go to a machine shop.
I kniow you are not to reuse the head bolts on an LS1 engine, Don't know about the gaskets. E-mail PAGREGGSS, He's the person I use for all my LS1 questions.

Thanks for the info....I think I'm gonna stay with the felpro's that's what was on the car and they worked fine, and I really don't want to sink any money into this short block. I would rather step up the cubes and go to an LS-2 with an aftermarket set of heads....So right now I just want to get this bad boy back on the road. Looks like Felpro's and ARP is where I'm headed.
While the heads are off I'm gonna have the springs checked and my buddy put one on the flow bench for curiosity, they supposedly have Stage 2 porting done, but I don't know who did the port work, maybe Cartek, but I'm not sure...
I'll post my findings...
