Question Help- May have cracked head-should I replace with 91?

Hey guys,
I just dropped off the car at the dealership. I may have a cracked head. I was wondering what your thoughts were on whether I should get it fixed with a stock head from them, or try and buy a 91 pi Head swap kit and have them put that in. I figure if I have to fix something, I might as well try to get some HP out of it.
WHat do you think the price difference would be?
WHere should I look for a 91 head swap if I do decide to go that route.
I need your input guys...
Thanks,
CMH

i'm pretty sure a 302 head will not fit on a 4.6 engine. could be wrong though.

Default It's not a cracked head--cracked Intake it is!

Never mind guys...It's the trusty old 98 plastic intake that is cracked...
Going to have to work on this problem now...
Thanks,
CMH
