Depending on answer you may need to also do head work (skim) to ensure that you just don't blow the new one in 5minutes
This. The GoaT's previous owner said he'd had the HG done a short time before, and it was cactus again before coming home from Adelaide. The local engine shop has a process where it heats the head and un-warps it. This wasn't done by The GoaT's previous owner(s). so the time between HG failures was brief.
Expect a drive in / drive out price at shops for a head gasket R&R and head restoration in the region of $900 - $1.1K, including parts and labour.
