Basically you have to take it apart and see what kind of damage the overheat did to the head. The primary concern is warpage. One end of the spectrum of possibilities is it just needs the $20 gasket. The other end of the spectrum is that your head is cooked/warped/cracked etc. and is not repairable.
Like the others have stated, check prices on junk-yard engines and heads, as it may be the economical route, but remember, you don't know jack about that junkyard motor's history. I would want to use the existing head *if* its ok.
