Default Gaskets for cam swap

I'm trying to get everything lined up for my swap. What gaskets will need to be replaced and what are their part #'s?


Thanks, Jay

Well mine only has 7K, but I wasn't sure about re-using them. How much do you guys think the new ones will cost?

I priced them up today and it was about 2.60 each but that was my cost. I think list is like 4 bucks or so each, 1 front cover gasket, 2 water pump gaskets. Oh and the crank bolt, which has to be replaced is I think about the same price.

yes, they sure are, the 4.8, 5.3, 5.7, 6.0 are all the same,

when you go in there, ask for some waterpump gaskets from a 4.8, timing cover gasket for a vette, then a seal for HD 6L, lol
they'll be like "oh ya, they are all the same" hahahahha
