I have a suggestion as well, although I warn you mine is more work, but also has been proved on over one hundred Northstar engines to date, with a 99% success rate. You do have to pull the engine, but It's a fool proof repair. These head gaskets are failing because the original head bolts are fine threaded in an aluminum block. Over time the block and heads just strip due to the pressure. A process just like this is also used on race cars, and it was used on my Oldsmobile Aurora.

HG replacement on a Northstar is not a trivial job. The engine should be pulled. Re-tapping the head bolt holes MUST be done. At a typical dealer, it's a $3500-$5000 job, with I believe a 40-hour book.

What is better to fix the head gasket or engine swap?
If all that is wrong is a blown head gasket and even a cracked head it is much easier and cheaper to just fix it than to replace the engine. The labor to replace the engine plus the cost of the engine would be far greater than fixing the one you now have. This is assuming the engine is not worn out already.
