8.1L workhorse Engine - Cost to Repair Blown Headgasket
I may have a blown head gasket, any idea what I’m looking at paying to repair? I can’t do it myself, so a shop recommendation in Phoenix would be much appreciated as well.

Last vehicle I had with a blown head gasket, mechanics were big on replacing it with a crate engine. Their reasoning was the labor to tear the existing motor apart and, they could run into more damage as well as huge labor hours. Compared to pulling the old motor and installing the rebuilt crate motor.
This was a GM LT1 motor, in a sports car, so not apples to apples for your situation. I was able to trade the car in on a new sports car, didn't have to worry about the motor luckily.
Just something to investigate.
