source for sohc cylinder head

[smurman]

looks like i've got a cracked head on my 4.0L SOHC. right passenger side. local guy here that does machining says this side commonly goes. poking around i see a fair sampling of OHV heads for sale, but SOHC are hard to come by. is there a reputable source for these online, or am i forced to go the dealer? thanks,

thanks, i hadn't seen them yet, and they look like a good option. i guess i'm looking more for recommendations than a random google draw. hardened valve seats? valve guides? what do they use for seals? how much material will they remove and still sell it? etc.

if i'm going through this i can go w/ a better head set and replace both, but there's no point if it's going to be a quick-n-dirty build. i'm still exploring all options for fixing this, so if there's any advice i'm listening.
