You are in with a very good chance if you follow Yaofeng's advice, because you're doing what you'd probably need to do anyway after an major overheating episode - changing the head gasket and, of course, having the head itself checked (plated, we say over here).
While it's in bits, depending on the age of the car, suggest you get the timing chain/tensioner/guides replaced, new serp belt, replace all water hoses and maybe water pump as well while it's all drained down.
Can't quote you a price but I'd do the repair in a heartbeat, personally.
