What is the difference between a cracked block and a blown head gasket?
A cracked block means that the engine itself is cracked. A blown head-gasket means that the gasket between the engine and the head has blown. Either can be caused by overheating the engine. When an engine overheats the head can warp causing the head-gasket to give out. In some engines the heat cracks the block. If the block is cracked, it's over. If the head-gasket is blown you can always machine the head surface and put it all back together.

What would cause a 1989 Sundace to just shut down when driving and you were told it could be heaad gasket?
I doubt that a blown head gasket would cause you car to shut off without some other symptoms prior to it stalling. I would suspect a bad fuel pump, or clogged fuel filter. It can be many things. It takes three things for an engine to run. Fuel, Air, & Ignition. Find out which one of these you are missing and this will give you a clue as to where to look.
