lim and front cover gaskets through dealer/wbs/them bastards
everything else i get felpro through local parts with a tcg accnt discount (or a damn good hookup)
CS9917 is the lower set that give you everything for what most places charge for just the pan gasket/windage tray.
topend kit is expensive and unless you need everything arent worth it, better to buy from dealer/etc since you wont use the lim gaskets, etc etc.
of course then there's the topend stuffs, felpro VC gaskets with new grommets, they will be reddish or blue, silicone same as OEM.. usually blue grommets, (dont like blue showing? pay for new GM dark grey grommets)
prec machined surfaces can usually do just fine with a layer of anerobic sealer instead of buying a gasket when there is no more coolant flow present (ie gen5 to adaptor to cable type TB surfaces)
clean towels, brake cleaner, razor blades, pack of 100 decent one's napa are ok, autozone one's wont even slit your wrist much less clean without nicking,
black rtv, more brake cleaner, permatex super 300 sealer if your LIM has more than a little bit of pitting, brake cleaner and compressed air.
