debating pulling my 300 head.

i recently got a 91 300 and i have it on an engine stand so i can clean it up before putting it in my truck. this is my first 300 and i have read a lot about the heads being warped or cracked do to how long it is. on the driver side it is covered in oil and on the passenger it only has some around the oil pan. i am having a hard time deciding weather i should take the chance pull the head get it mega-fluxed shaved and possibly a port and polish or not. any input would be greatly appreciated.

Unless I knew the po and the condition of the engine, I would pull the head and have it magnafluxed. The EFI head is notorious for cracking. I would want to have it checked and v.job done too.
