I ordered everything separately myself including the o-ring heads. I had a headgasket blow which prompted the whole top end change and didn't want to do it again. I looked at Summit and trickflow's website which didnt list a kit with the o-ring heads. I say get everything separately in that case.

these are the heads.
I also switched everything to arp studs instead of bolts too and wasn't going to use their attaching hardware. I wanted a double roller timing chain which the kit didn't specify what it came with and I didn't like the look of the rounded valvecovers. I rather buy what I want that buy a kit and just use most of it... You can go to their website and just quote the part numbers for the pushrods, cam and roller rockers. www.trickflow.com

Remember you need to buy O-ring head gaskets too for the 0-ring heads. I believe these are it. Can't remeber if the heads came with gaskets... I think they did.

Please double check my links to be sure that is what you need.

Alright thanks a lot, being that Im on a stock bottom end though, I think Im going to go without the o-ring heads for now. Id rather blow a headgasket than throw a rod.
