Default Failed Water Pump...Head Suggestions

Noticed too late and according to temp gauge engine got way too hot. Never lost seal on heads or if i did steam did not escape here. Engine began to "diesel" just before I shut it down. So what are the chances I warped the heads and can they be machined back to use? If not use-able what heads could i slap on to match the stock block/intake/cam without mods that I could use later on a new build?

Thanks for any input.
