You don't have a cracked head. That'* nearly impossible on a 3800 of any generation. You have bad LIM seals more than likely. One afternoons worth of work. Fixing before selling, or selling as is, or keeping it now?

No, it'* indicative of cracks in the exhaust manifolds. Typical for 92-94 L27'*, and even more so for 92-95 L67'*.
My 90% bet is on bad LIM seals and cracked EM'*. Especially with alot of coolant flowing, it heats and cools the EM'* far too quickly. And the recent overheating, as well.
