I doubt you can get it that easily. A yard which has possession of a good motor is not going to just part with the head. And if they have a bad motor, the head is likely no good most of the time. You may get it from a rebuilder. But it is not going to be cheap.
When the timing chain jumped tooth on my 94 9kcs, a local machine shop affiliated with a part chain said they could rebuild the head for $300 (in central New Jersey). They'll turn the head and replace all valves. I ended up getting a motor from a yard in Connecticut for a grand and put it in myself. I felt more comfortable not messing with the head and timing chain.
