A cracked block wouldn't neccesarily affect conductivity, there would still be other parts of the block to conduct electricity. Might try mounting the ground strap as close to the battery as possible (on any of the battery box hold-downs). Someone mentioned making certain the contacts are clean. Be real careful of using a 12v battery and not crank but a couple of seconds and let it cool off some between attempts. Also the place that checked out the starter for you, they did test it under load, yes? One other thing to possibly check is the starter contact itself. Remove the cover and see if the contacts are clean, they may be carboned or severely pitted. I'm not sure, but I think this is due in part to not pulling on the starter rod enough to make a good and full contact over time. Pretty darn frustrating ain't it ;)
