Replacing Cracked 0331 Head

So I've fallen victim to the infamous cracked head in the 2001 Jeep Cherokee, and I've just about got the funds to replace it. Where would be a good place to buy one? I've heard I can buy one that comes with valves. What else should I replace with it?

I'm new to this, so bear with me please.

You might want to replace a couple of items while you are in there as well- motor mounts, maybe header.
