[s-cars] cracked head

[mlp qwest]

Some head cracks can be repaired by a good welder.  That's one option.
The 3b head will work, however you will need to a machine shop to add a
fitting to the front of the head for the AAN's Hall cam position sender.
You'll have the old head, if its unrepairable, available to copy the design
off of.

While your in there, if you aren't in a rush, you can mull the benefits,
real or imagined of (a) coatings (since I see that's come up again vis-à-vis
exhaust manifolds and turbo hot sides); and to port or polish or not.

~Once again I find myself  in trouble with  my ' 94 S-4 and in need
