Tough call, if the rest of the trucks in good shape it'd be hard to loose that much selling it because of a weeping block. Did you just stick weld it or ??? I've seen a process/company called lock-n-stitch on other blocks/trans cases that worked well. Not sure if your block is beyond repar because it has been welded.
If your still interested in a block to replace check out the classifieds here or on other boards. I know there's a guy on comp-d that's selling 2 CR 5.9 blocks for fairly short money as of a few days ago. Best of luck.
EDIT found the in-frame repair from lock-n-stitch on a 53 block here, PDF.

They're not.
With 300+ posts, you ShOULD know that. But we all make mistakes and this is yours I guess.
Selling ANYTHING here, ATTEMPTING to sell anything here or even giving the impression that you might be selling something here in the future is against the rules, and the above string of replies is ONE reason why; the place would turn into one giant flea market. That is why we created the classified section.
I'm closing the thread but leaving it up so maybe other people will see a shred of evidence behind why we are adamant in the enforcement of this rule.
I might be trying to sell my truck here soon, and I was wondering if there is anyone on here that would be in the market for buying it with the cracked block.
If I have gone against the rules of the site, I apologize.
