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.

Going as planned depends on how long the head gasket was perforated. If it's been perforated for a while, a deck resurface is in order and quite possibly a new or reman head. If it was me, I'd replace the motor with say, a Jasper with a warranty and turn in the old one for a core. Replacing one is sometimes easier than repairing one in the engine bay....and you can buy a dressed (long block) ready to go with all accessories as well. Those are plug and play.
My thoughts.
