As said, it varies. This is one of those in for a penny in for a pound situations. Besides the headgasket kit (head gasket, intake&exhaust gaskets, valve cover gaskets, misc other not in the kit), machine shop on the head (usually the head is ok but sometimes not enough material left to plan OR it has cracks - so source a new to you used head, and it has to be checked out), full set of belts, some of the hoses, Maybe any/all of the following: thermostat, voltage regulator for Alternator, various bushings, waterpump?, radiator?, motor mounts?) plugs, rotor, cap, wires?, any broken studs?, stud replacement kit, any other issues found (broken bolt at the alterantor bracket, any of the NLS air/water combo pipe/hoses)
And if your engine compartment is filthy I would want to clean it first (if I were doing it).
So... it could easily range anywhere from a very low, we didn't replace much of anything and you are my brother of $500, to $1500 to $2500.
