Default Cracked 389 Block?

Are these blocks known to crack with overheating or detonation?

This engine is showing condensation on dipstick and water vapor out valve cover filler cap.

Water level is low and leaks out water pump shaft seal when filled, so it was probably run with too little water.

Going to pull the heads and look at the head gaskets and bores.
