Sorry, Since its welded already you should of drilled two small holes at the beginning of the crack and the end of the crack so it can't continue to crack after its welded. Now you need to dry the area completely and preheat it to expand it and make sure all the moisture is out of the area. Then weld it but make three passes wide in that area so your wider than what is needed to seal it good. While its still hot cover it with a few old leather welding gloves or use the torch so it cools slowly. If you let the weld cool too quickly it can crack again. I've fixed a few cast iron blocks already and some for boats too with great results.
