Had my dad's 35 Ford worked on this week and discovered the left head has a hairline crack we never noticed. Can these be repaired or do we need to locate a replacement?

Can't say about repair without more information. Used heads are available. Is it aluminum or cast iron? Is there a part # cast on the face? If you do go the replacement route, make sure to use a head with the same part # .

Aluminum. Car is in shop so am not able to check for part no.

Aluminum can be welded, but heads are not candidates. The compression and the interior erosion are big factors. It is much better to find a replacement. They are out there.
