Is this possible by simply swapping the rocker assembly from the 70 head to the 74 to deal with the oiling system changes?

Any explanation would help if its not too much of a hassle. I'm not a mechanical genius but i know the basics. Anyways the background for this question is I have a two complete engines a '74 with a cracked block because the PO didn't bother with antifreeze but otherwise solid engine and a '70 with stuck valves from sitting around for 10 years. Rather then doing it the right way and dealing with the valves I was hoping to "frankenstein" a useable engine.
It is my understanding that the F blocks used a bypass filtering system lending the top end to minimal oiling. The 74 block went to full filtration system which provided improved oiling throughout the engine. with a different feed to the head. Is the crack in the 74 block external or do you have a mixing of oil and water?

It is an external crack in the '74 block.
