Default Anyone want to install hg?

Any of you 5.0 backyard mechanics want to install a set of headgaskets on a 302 this sat? If so how much? I should have it torn down to the block by then.

I had a friend do it and they are leaking so I want someone who has done it before. I just "invested" close to $100 for gaskets that I have to rebuy. I'll call you tonight Chris
