LS8 engine hard parts and gaskets

[cmamtm]

My son has a 2001 LS8 that apparently threw a rod. engine locked up, lots of metal debris in oil pan. we have a short block but are having a hard time finding gaskets. well, actually they are easy to find from Ford, but high dollar. we need a source for a head gasket set and possibly other parts and gaskets. is Ford the only option we have?

Bill Jenkins from Team Ford can help too, though I've not personally bought from him.

Max or Rock Auto. Either is going to be more than fair.

If there was serious serious failure I wold make sure to inspect the heads very well to make sure nothing made its way up there and messed them up.

OEM is the way imo...
