re the slant 6 post
was going suggest brazing the crack as i had
done this long ago in my youth a few times
ground the crack (v'd it) and used eutetic
185 work hardening braze rod for the repair then peened it and draw filed. worked for me
but in reading up (did google search slant 6
cracked block) looks like repairs are not long lasting and the only real solution is replacing the block
