Good luck
been there done that
Mine went out on a road trip also few years ago, lucky for me It was right before a offramp. Started to run really rough and temp shot up all of sudden. After it cooled down i could see air bubbles after I refilled so I knew right away and had it towed back home.
Was a major PITA to fix, #6 was where my gasket failed. I spent over two weeks on/off after work and both weekends to get it done, 20hrs+ of work is what I fiqured I spent on it and I was very sore for a week after from bending over so much. One of my exhaust Valves needed extra work at the machine shop, spent ~ $400 with them plus the other parts and hoses replaced so I was in over $600 with me doing all the work.
Never know until you look at them but I bet the block is ok, the head will need some machine work for sure but you should be back in action soon I pray.
