Your block isn't necessarily cracked, there are many reasons you could have water in the oil. Head gasket, pcv issues, cracked head, etc. etc.

Cracked block would be most unlikely, depending on what you did to it.

Agreed. It could be something as simple as a leaking timing cover gasket.

Where are you located? I'm getting ready to pull a 5.0 out of my '95 and replace it with a new long block. I'm going to sell it once it's out.
