Need a head

I recently bought a truck for the motor, trans and rear axle. I was going to put it in anther truck. Anyways, turns out that the head is cracked and i need another one. The mechine shop says it gona be 600 for another head and 425 to repair the other one (need new exaught valves and gudes). I was wondering if there's a possability i can get one cheaper anywhere else. The motor not worth it to me if its gona coast me a grand to fix.

Thanks,
Jonathan
