    Cracked head,replace engine or fix head

    Have a friend in the Southeast part of North Carolina. They have an 05,6.0 that has a cracked head. Truck is mint condition with just over 200k. Would it be best to have the engine fixed or have one built and bulletproofed ready to go? They've been quoted 7000$ just to replace the heads.
