Used, good castings shouldn't be that much money. The time/money you will spend in a machine shop fixing your currents heads can go to another set.

Pay the money to have em checked out and decked at the very least.

There's an implication behind the responses so far, but I figured I'd highlight the OP's question nonetheless.

I read the original post a bit too fast and thought you mentioned the heads, not gasket, were cracked. There is a chance but as mentioned, pay the $ to have them looked at by a machine shop to confirm.

how bad did it overheat? if the head gasket just went and it didnt overheat they wont be warped.

Get a true straight edge and some feeler gauges and check for flatness yourself.
