Got it.
Here's a price breakdown of the head gasket replacement that I just did on my V8. It won't help you much in terms of part numbers but it should give you a rough idea on costs. It came in just under $1k and that's including a new radiator, timing belt kit, and machine work to straighten one head and resurface both heads. Then add about 30 hours worth of labor.
And definitely go with the OEM head gasket kit. It's actually cheaper than some aftermarket kits. The V8 2UZ-FE head gasket has also been redesigned by Toyota and some of the aftermarket kits include the older design head gaskets. Fel-Pro offers both the older and newer design head gaskets which I would assume the same applies to the 1GR-FE. If you do go the aftermarket route, make sure you're getting one with the re-designed head gaskets.
Also, get yourself a white (120 grit) Roloc disc for cleaning all the old gasket material off aluminum. It will cut down on your prep time significantly. Yellow is also for aluminum but it's more aggressive so be sure to not to hold it in one area too long to avoid removing too much material.
