How difficult is it to change a head gasket on a 2.8 V6 engine?

Is this a front wheel car or rear wheel? If its front wheel drive and the engine is sideways, its a bit more difficult to get at things. It is a pretty big job. You have to remove the intake and exhaust manifolds before you can remove the heads. This job is almost all labor and very little cost for parts. So if your handy you can save a lot of money doing it yourself. I would get a shop manual, I like the Haynes ones the best and then read all the steps for this job and make sure your are comfortable with it before starting it. It took me all weekend to do mine.
