I guess it depends on what you mean by "cheap". The L98 (unlike the LT1) will accept almost any SBC heads.
I'm also curious as to how you managed to crack both.

If you are willing to go with used heads, I'm sure there are several guys on this forum who have a pair sitting on a shelf in the garage.
Just put out the word here or in C4 Parts.

I agree - Aluminum heads will warp....but crack? Did you overheat badly?
