It seems like the price of a head gasket, getting the head milled and other various gaskets are the major things. Hopefully the head will be in good shape when you look at the bottom of it, not eaten up or anything. You might want to replace the valve guide seals and even look into a valve job. Look at the top of the block too, it needs to be flat and not pitted or anything. Then you can look at the cylinders to see if there is any type of ridge at the top of the cylinders. Some is normal, butit would take a micrometer to really tell how much the cylinder might be worn and go from there.
Just my 2 cents
