oh i already got a new one and is at the machine shop right now but i was just wondering if it is fixable cuz my dad or friend may want it for either of their builds but if it isnt fixable then i guess scrap? I've also heard of ppl making tables from scrap blocks?

That is correct..
I have seen them welded up and work fine for awhile.. But if it is apart a new block is cheap enough..

Yep big mistake there they never blew the headbolt holes clear of antifreeze. That antifreeze dont compress and finds a way out. Unfortunately sometimes it creates it's own way out.
