i would check the valves, might be to tight. Intake valves may not be not sealing against the seat.

If the motor was cracked on the inside would it be running worse than what it is

Pop the valve cover, crank the car and see if all rocker arms are moving to check for a flat lobe on a cam.

Try removing one plug wire at a time while it is running to find out which cylinder has the problem.

intake valve stuck open..probably got too much condensation in it froze the guide,better pull the valvecovers and bump it around to check movement.
then pull the heads..
