Default gte gasket compatibility

I believe this is my first post so I'll say hello first off. A local guy has a new oem gasket kit for the non vvti gte. I'm about to start my na-t build and am curious if anyone knows how many of the gaskets cross over to the non vvti ge? I'm going to be using gte valve covers (I assume valve cover gaskets are the same for gte and ge?) a tt head gasket and would also like to reseal the engine while I have it torn down (i.e. front and rear crank seals, cam seals, ect). I know that the intake manifold and exhaust manifold gaskets don't cross but how about the rest if anyone has any experience? Would I be better off buying the gte kit for around $400 or buying the ge kit for $300 and the tt head gasket for $130?

GTE gasket works fine on GE.....most people use this to lower compression for NA-T application....get ARP studs while you have it tore apart

I know the head gaskets fits. And arp's goes without saying... my concern is with the remaining gaskets and seals in the gte kit...
