replacing head gasket,how hard?

im contimplating buying an 88 supra but 100,000 miles, of course head gaskets blown,Im wanting to know how hard it would, how long?, how much?, can someone tell me what they, know also its a turbo

thanks,dex

Well if it was me I would take head off use old HeadGaskit as a base for a copper headgaskit, and make my own, takes one full day to make A head gaskit from copper sheet, and one day to pull apart and reasemble motor, cost me $5 for the copper sheet, and two days of my time, say a weekend. If its just the BHG that is, Copper better than STD HG.
And might pay to have the head hardness tested and if passes then Shaved 10 though to be safe, then you know its straight,
Or just bye a already done up 2JZ-GTE to drop in, then you have a spare motor to rebuild STD or Suppedup, you can get 1500+ HP from a 2JZ-GTE block, but thats real big bucks
