Is the 0331 head a high output, or is it a regular head? Also how can i identify the block to know what year its from?

Get the number off the driver's side of the block.

Agree with cruiser54 that not all I6 heads are prone to cracking.
Actually the heads from 87-99 are quite hardy.
It's the 00-01 that you need to keep your eye on because of the casting defect between cylinders 3-4.
