The only way to determine if the block or head are cracked is to strip them down, have it " tanked" to remove the rust & carbon, have them both magnfluxed & pressure tested. You will usually find minor cracks in both, only the machine shop can help you determine if they need to be repaired, or will be fine as is.

If no leaks after 8 -12 hours of being under pressure, you should be good to go.

Strictly a guess......
How much water was present in the oil pan when you removed it ?
