I'm having a friend do this with me and he has done this to his car as well. Im planning on buy all felproof gaskets, but im not sure if I should pay more to get Toyota gaskets. I have my stock 7afe that just needs new rods, and I have a jap 7a in my car right now, so I rather get oem gaskets for my stock 7a, depending on how much they are. Does anyone know oem price on 7a gaskets?

It just depends on the type of gasket. Fel-pro is good as far as any aftermarket supplier goes. BUT, there are a lot of original gaskets that're layered metal, and the only way to get them usually is to buy from the stealership. Generally a good rule of thumb is that for important gaskets like the head-gasket, water pump, oil pump, etc... go OEM. Generally things that if the gasket fails it causes big problems/headaches. Small things like the thermostat, throttle body, etc... the aftermarket suppliers are fine.
