If it were me, I'd magnaflux the block and check for flatness, maybe even deck it. Then go with both new heads, the best your son can afford to buy. Build it to last another 20+ years
Cracked head and 240K miles. I'd either pull the engine for complete rebuild or slap on the cheapest head money can buy and let it roll. Immediate open heart surgery or take an aspirin and live another day.
You guys are overachievers. I'd check the block with a straight edge and send it with a new head(s). Hell I put a blower on my 1500 at 240k and have a junkyard 5.3 on the stand of unknown mileage that is race car bound. If it runs, doesn't knock, and you can stomach the oil consumption I'd just run the thing.
