crack in the block

[1sicneon]

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 .. 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?
