Well, as we mentioned in another thread about an old boat i had....

Listen, you could have it welded by a pro and coat it with JB weld and if it doesn't leak you're good IF it's not leaking water internally (check the oil pan) and the cylinders aren't distorted.

It's a rig job for sure, but it'd work. Others mentioned drilling it and plugging it and coating it with epoxy.

You could try to rig it while you looked for another block, and if it holds for a long time, just give up the search.
