Blown Head gasket, what to do....?

A few days ago I walked out to my car and noticed a puddle of water/anti freeze under my car. I popped the hood, and noticed the head gasket was leaking. Here is the deal, I just changed the timing belt/water pump a few months ago. Are the head gaskets that hard to change. I know I have to pull the intake manifold, exhaust headers, valve cover, timing belt off, then can I just pull the head off, and replace the gasket, put it all back together, or is it not that easy. I have all the tools to do it. Just never done it. Like I said I changed the timing belt, water pump myself, that was not that hard, except for those few stubborn bolts (underdrive pulley). Also I am thinking of just going ahead and swapping motors, maybe now is the time to do it. ZC is what I am looking at. How much longer you all think I have on the current head gasket. Any info is apprececiated. Thanks. Mike

P.S. I havent wrote in a while, because I have been rehabbing my house.
