Cracked how and where? Just about every 12v head known to exist has cracks in it. As long as it pressure checked and passes it will be ok. If that's the case deck and o-ring your head, get a set of ARP or F1 studs, do some mild porting on the exhaust side and install some aftermarket valve springs keepers and holders and your set.
