Re: what to do with my engine?

A typical head out of a junkyard is $50-300 in good useable condition. Then you can have it cleaned, decked, tanked, and a valve job done for a roughly $150-400, depends upon the machine shop.

You figure labor to swap a head isn't that crazy. 7.1 hours per alldata for a headgasket job, figure an additional 1 hr for component swap stuff, so 8 hours @ whatever shop rate.

If you can do it yourself, great. If not, it is not a cheap option. What is your quote for the used 6 bolt engine? You might as well go all out and just drop in a built 6 bolt engine if you are going that route.
