it really isn't "hard" but it's time consuming and you MUST! MUST MUST MUST!!!! keep everything in order as to where it goes, get lil baggies and label EVERYTHING! haha no joke. we repaired my friends 350 head gasket and he didn't keep order...hell of a time trying to fix everything..anyways, like timbersteel said, you will have to completely remove the head, so the intake, valve covers, AC, Alt, Plenum, all must go. if you can figure out which side is blown, it'll be a ton more easier. just remember you got this, it's nothing major hard, just time consuming. take it slow and you'll be fine
