Hi:
I'm not sure where you are located, but yes this is a big job. If the head is cracked and needs replaced, you are going to have nearly 1000.00 in just parts. Not sure what the labor rate would be where you are located.

I understand your concern with a used engine replacement. However, it may be more cost effective. See if you can find a used engine with low mileage.
