However, be willing to auction off your first born and sell a kidney if anything major should go wrong. Unless you can do the work yourself.
This is just some basic prices for parts I Googled for your model, not counting labor cost, add $25 per hour average for labor and not counting any additional work such as mill work or machine.
Get a warranty if you can!
Power steering pump - $300
Head gasket set, possible $300-$400+
Headlight replacement $70-$100 [ ChevyIINova's advice column | Ask ChevyIINova A Question ]
