Thats not the best quality pic, but that block definitely doesn't look too good.

Looks pretty fubard to me. I can't tell how deep the crack is, but it can't be good. Under load you're going to have some block distortion.

Cant get any better images..........but the crack is deep and i can definately feel ridges around the two liners where it feels like the liners have come out of the block a little

You could make a table out of it. That seems to be the popular trend in this section recently.

You could get the liners cut out, the block welded up, put new liners in, and deck it flat. Or save a thousand or so and get a new block.
