Default Is This Over Priced?!?!

I called a local honda/acura shop to find out what it would cost to have my new head installed and they told me about $400 for parts and labor!!! Is that a good price or am I getting fawked Is there anyway I can do this myself? I have the time and probably most the tools and I have a manual as well??? What parts will I need like gaskets or anything??? any and all help will be helpful, thanks alot!!!

It doesn't seem like you know much about internals, so I would probably stick to letting a pro do it. The price seems higher than what I've heard it done for, so shop around.
