I don't know what salvage yards charge for a head or in what condition it will be in, but that is a possibility. The hard part for P&P yards is removing the exhaust header, the bolts are usually frozen to the block and might snap off.

While things are apart, consider deleting the EGR. A nice intake manifold that comes from a 1996-97 without EGR will be much cleaner.
