it would seem to me that if it's only the head gasket, a new motor is way overboard... talk to ccautos, mardydelica, or rocky mountain imports about a new head gasket. they run less than $100 instead of several thousand for a replacement motor.
Even if it turns out the whole head is cracked, that's still cheaper than a new motor (the heads run about $1600 new, or approx $700-$800 for a used one)
both of these repairs can even be done without removing the engine from the vehicle. (which will save you significantly more money again)

The big question will be WHY you overheated in the first place, when the rad hose blows it's usually an indication of too much pressure in the coolant system, often due to a cracked head or damaged head gasket due to previous overheating, if the vehicle has a history of overheating you should definitely check the radiator, water pump, and thermostat to make sure that they are good too (many of these vehicles arrive with completely clogged radiators) I strongly recommend you look at addressing these problems at the same time or you risk going through the whole mess again soon...

Good luck with the repairs, and hopefully you'll be on the road again soon!
