Junkyard,or you can try craigslist. It must have overheated A LOT to "warp" a cast iron head. You sure you cant just machine it?

Machine the head.

You can get the machine shop to put a flat surface on it for (likely) cheaper than shipping a used head... which may also need machining.

Besides, now is your chance to up the compression ratio by milling the head!
