I would just use a GE headgasket.

Don"t drill for the dowl pin. Spend $5-$10 buck on a ls-v dowl pin. You can find them anywere. Haft is big and haft is smaller.

you have the buy the GE HG.

I reccomend taking the head to a machine shop and having the opposite side's dowel holes of the head reamed out to 14mm. this will allow you to use a stock HG off an LS.

Good Luck
