As long as the cracks are just between the water jacket and to the top sleeve seats, but don't go to the outside of to any oil passages, you can fix it and it will run a long time. I had a Super A, years ago that was cracked to the sleeve, but only on one cylinder. I put it together with Permatex silicone in the crack. Used it for 6 or 7 years like that, mowing a 3 acre lawn with a Woods mower. However, I think I would try to get it welded if I could, or ever hunt a better block at a salvage yard. If you are going to do an engine rebuild, doesn't make a lot of sense to put all that money into a cracked up block.
