I have an old Popular Mechanic magazine book that fixed the problem simply with a drill and a tap set and a few screws.

It said to find the end of the crack and drill
at the end of these with the end of crack center of hole. Tap screws at these locations. This ends the stress on the block. Working in from these ends, drill a series of holes along the crack and tap in screws, (I might add for these days use some epoxy on the thread)until the length of the crack is filled with tapped screws.

I know, not very practical, but we're talking post war advice. Anyway, that's interesting trivia. I've heard in similar cases you can also heat up the head evenly and weld it with nickle rod or grind a groove and braze it.
