I can't even see any crack! Usually they can be 'stitched' as long as it is only in a water galley not in an area under compression or high pressure. (usually freeze cracks are easily repairable by anyone familiar with 'stitching' a cast iron block) Digger & I know a guy here locally that does them well..it usually takes three guys, one with a torch to area heat the metal, then one with a torch to pre-heat the weld area in front of the third guy who actually does the welding..I personally have helped on two of these and they both are still holding water and driving down the road! One was a L-head 6 the other was a 440 V8!
