First, on all engines that have cast block and aluminum head, torque-to-yield bolts are used to fasten them together. These bolts stretch and MUST BE REPLACED when replacing the head gasket.
O'reilly
Head gasket set: $169.99
Bolt set: $26.99, both banks
I don't have a labor guide to tell how many hours the book time is. I would recommend taking it to a shop to do though.

Just call your local parts store and find out. If you aren't doing the job yourself then call a dealership/shop and they should be able to give you an estimite over the phone of what the parts and labor should cost you. I mean a "ball-park" figure anyway. The reason some places don't like giving certain estimats over the phone is because when the tech. tears into your motor there can sometimes be other parts that were damaged caused by your blown head gasket. Then when they tell the costomer that it will need more parts the costomer blows a gasket also.

You can't base changing one on just the price of the gasket. You need to factor in the costs of other gaskets (rocker arm cover, etc.) valve seals, intake manifold gasket.
Felpro Head Gaskets for your model at Autozone are about 18 bucks a pop, but the whole set runs $166. New head bolts are $25 a set, though I don't know if new ones are required.
