its best to take it to shop or if you know how, check for straightness on the block and head.
Bee is right. You can do a headgasket, surafce, for well under $1000. I pmed him a quote. but it really depends on how bad it was overheated, if the block is warped, then there are NO gurantees, as the only way to fix it is pull the motor.

But you know for sure until its taken off.
