    So looking into a 1994 runner that has a “blown” head gasket. I was told that coolant is coming out of the exhaust. Is this a head gasket or cracked head ? What do you all think

    Head gasket is more likely, but I have no idea how you would be able to tell just from that description. The 3.0 is known to have a head gasket failure around the rear passenger side because of the crossover. You'd have to take a closer look at it, probably take it apart and look at the head gasket.
