head gasket advice?

i developed a sudden missfire and power loss a few weeks ago. i have been tuning up every bit of my 383 stroker engine with no improvement. today i noticed a lot of water in my exhaust and bubbles in my oil. my motor has between 30000 and 50000 miles on it and i ride her hard. i have been advised that changing head gaskets will cause another part of my engine to fail. the motor ran flawlessly until recently. can i get away with simply changing head gaskets or will i have to swap out the cam, rings,... what are the chances that i can save my engine?
