ok, i bought a 99 chevy silverado with a blown motor, and the guy sold an aluminum block 5.3l engine out of a chevy ssr with it. I know the aluminum block will bolt right up to the truck, but im havin a hard time findin a gasket set for it. Any ideas on where to buy em? Ive checked and i can find gaskets for the motor, just not a complete set, and im not 100% sure on what gaskets ill need until i start puttin the motor together and i really dont wanna have to wait a week to order them and all that. So, if youve done any work on an aluminum block v8 before(im used to castiron) and know what gaskets are different than they would be for a cast iron block, please let me know
 
First things first. Throw that aluminum block in the river and get a real block.
