If the engine runs fine other than leaking it is not hard to re-seal the heads. I have done it many times. The first time I did it was for my 84 GL when it was at 120k miles. I did absolutely nothing but re-sealing the heads. I have got 30k+ more miles on it. It can be done in 3 days in a home garage. But plan on a week long work and do it carefully without cutting any corners. The work will make you forget the pain of losing a job while waiting to find another one. Make sure you have good set of tools. You will need to buy additional individual sockets. wrenches, etc. in the middles of the project. It will be a fun project. This is what I would do. But of course there are always other options. David
