Default Blown Head Gasket!

Have a '95 coupe -- C-4, small block LT-1 (350/300) -- with blown head gasket.

Would appreciate recommendation of a shop in the Houston (or surrounding) area. Reputable and ... reasonably priced, if possible.

Anyone have a ballpark figure of $ to replace gaskets only vs "mill" heads and replace gaskets?

Thanks!

I know there are shops that do both C4 and C5, but you might have better luck posting this in C4 General.

I would try Corvettes of Houston or Icon Autosports in Stafford. Both of these places work on c4's as well as c5's and c6's. To mill the heads your looking at around $100. Check with LME engine builders off the Beltway near Tanner.
