I know the head gasket on my 1992 sunbird has been replaced, don't know all the details because I didn't do it myself.. but i would try replacing it and see if you can't get more miles out of that engine! its a whole lot easier than replacing the whole thing because we did the cavalier version and it was a pain in the rear to switch out.. id suggest just replacing the gasket.

the same thing happened to me just before Christmas and i had the heads and cam looked at for knicks and warpage. Then just reconditioned/refurbished them, relatively cheap minus labor. replacing hoses and radiator gasket just below radiator cap and she's been good ever since.
