Tone,
Don't bother with an EJ257 gasket set!!
If you buy the EJ257 set, you end up with head gaskets too thin and a load of Ver 8/9 stuff (all the internal block seals, tumble generator gaskets etc)
The gaskets you need are:
Head gasket - spec'd to the heads to get the correct comp. ratio
Water pump gasket
Water cross pipe gaskets
Cam shaft seals
Sump oil return 'O' ring
Cam cover seals - Depends on MY
Inlet man. gaskets - Again depends on MY
Probably missed a few

I spoke to Knowlesy at xtreme about this group buy today and he said it would need between 20/30 people to go ahead obviously the more people the lower the price will become.
I'll give him a call tomorrow to see if he has a price yet.
