53 blocked 12 valve

I have found what I had considered to be my dream truck. 1998 12V,Short bed, quad cab, 5spd, 4x4. Only problem is, it is a 53 block. Do these 12 valve 53’s crack like the 24 valvers do. Would you take the chance? Anyone know the start year of the 53’s? I have searched and read on this forum until blurry eyed. Everything I have read pretty much only talks about the 24 valvers, but it has still helped make my decision not to buy this truck, however, I wanted to see if I could get some input from the 12 valve community. Thanks.
