6.9 head gasket

[OldIron82]

Hello all. What is the best gasket set/kit to use for the 6.9? I'm trying my best to get that 1st gen turbo 6.9 ready to drop in my truck but it keeps getting put off but by this weekend hell or high water I want to drop it in. I got studs on the way but I can't for the life of me get a line on head gaskets. Every search I do on the internet comes up with the 7.3 and local auto parts stores all come up with some nonsense over $200.00. Please help. Part numbers would be stellar. Thank you.

Here is a set for sale from a great member here. I have bought from him before and I thought about buying this set!

Go ahead, you won't find a better price either, I have looked.

Ok stupid question will 7.3 gaskets work on a 6.9?

6.9 has coolant passages at the corners that are blocked on 7.3. The 6.9 head gasket has openings there that the 7.3 does not.
