A good welder can fix that crack. Alot of guys shy away from them in cast iron because cas tends to crack if the carbon draws toward the heat. You can't let it get real hot. I have never welded a block back together but, I have used 7018 rod on a cast moldboard once as a "temporary fix" until I could get a new one. The old one is still doing the job. I know another old timer that has welded alot of cast and has a bunch of know how. I've seen where he's fixed large holes in blocks and they never leak or crack. There is nothing as permanent as melting that metal back together for a fix. You could also consider brazing with brass to seal it up. That might work. Easier than welding.
