crack in the block

well i just cleaned the engine up.. to see if it was the cam seal leaking oil and it wasnt.. there is a crack about 2 inches long :banghead: .. now would if be better to replace the engine.. bc i can get one for 250 with the core. or 325 with out the core with about 80k miles on it. im thinking ill keep the engine and pay 325. or would buying a new block be cheaper?

jb weld it lmao ive seen it done before :)

how long will that work for? bc i asked about doing soemthing like that an i was told the it wouldnt work to long.. and it would start to leak again?

it wont hold forever cheap temp fix

Swap the engine...quicker and easier.
