Vortec heads are a dime a dozen, and worst case scenario, there’s probably someone on Craigslist that has rebuilt heads for sale, I say that because there’s always several sets for sale in my area of northeast Oklahoma. A competent machine shop, should be able to help you/ resurface the heads if needed.
Head gasket job is easy compared to other jobs. I have hands on just about every part on my truck, and as one other person said, if you’re unsure of how to do something, YouTube videos help with the overwhelming part of the job. My only suggestion is make sure you have a repair manual, because it’s great for step by step information, and torque specs.
