With overheating a blown head gasket is much more likely than a cracked block.
That thing is nearly 30 years old, almost anything could be wrong with it. A rotted hose could have leaked out coolant. The simplest thing to check first is if the radiator is low or empty.
Also see the FAQ for information on troubleshooting an overheating engine.
