Great info. I would like to keep the car original if possible, if I can find the new head. I'm pretty sure the head is cracked as it is visible. One of the valve seats is also displaced. I intend to replace the radiator, t-stat, and water pump. When I got the car the oil looked like a milkshake so water is getting into the oil somewhere. I suppose the crack might not go all the way through but water is getting into the oil somewhere. Some pictures of the car and engine are on my photobucket:
