Engine Block Cracked

[Fbody383]

Where is the crack?

I did some quick google about welding/brazing/soldering. I've done some copper pipe, but not much. Heat up the spot enough to melt the brazing rod and let it draw... Are you worried the fix will break it more... if it's not usable, clean it up, braze it and send it.

ECR is slick from the dust so a little water might improve some places.

I think it would be just as easy to find a 305 block and have it bored/honed to your piston size and swap the internals over. Have you ever assembled an engine in the past?

This is in Waco. I'd just grab it and throw your TPI/accy's on it and see what happens, can't be worse than a cracked block and I bet you can get it much less than asking price. At least then you're on track and getting some practice in.

Yea, Sean has a good 305 as well I’ve considered buying. This engine I have runs amazing and was super reliable. Just had a water jacket freeze damage. Ran it for a whole season with JBWeld gooped over the cracks with almost zero preparation (trackside repair). If I can just seal up this block I feel she’ll last for a good long time.
