No time like the present for an upgrade. http://www.worldcastings.com/docs/catalog/pg09.pd, p/n 042750-1, available from www.competitionproducts.com. Add head, valve cover and intake gaskets, you're ready to roll again.

The heads respond well to a pocket porting job, but even without they'd be a nice step up from your swirl ports.

Better make sure your blocks decks are not warped as well.

When you pull your heads off it would be a good idea to make sure that the decks of the engine block itself are not warped. If they are the surface of the head(s) that mate with the the block may not seal causing a similar problem to a cracked head. You can check them for straightness with a good straight edge and feeler gauges. I don't know the exact tolorances but I bet some one else here does.
