Honestly, those are the easiest to find at the yards.
Give it a try, at least once it's cleaned and checked for cracks, you'll still have warranty if you choose to.

Actually, the heads are slightly different. You are wanting a head known as an 840 head. The most critical differences are in the cam sensor holes
