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.

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.
