What do you consider "slightly cracked" ? I have a block that had/has a couple head bolt hole cracks, and we gave welding it up a shot but the threads are too far gone in one hole. It would need to be drilled and rethreaded in that hole to hold. There may be other problems; e.g. I wouldn't guarantee anything if you bought it. BUT I'd sell it for basically what scrap would give me -- 50 bucks.

I have a similar crack on my brand new iron lt1 block. It's leaking coolant from a small one inch horizontal crack on the #2 cylinder. Has anyone ever had their cracked block welded? How did it turn out? Was it welded inside the engine bay or did you have to remove the whole motor?
Thanks

Anyone still have a mock up Ls1 or Ls6
Im planing on doing an Ls1 / Ls6 in a 72 datsun 510 and need a block to fabricate the firewall and mounts. Im not sure if anyone that posted on here previously still has a one of the mentioned blocks but Im interested. Im looking preferably for aluminum or even one of those poly foam mock up motors. I see this thread is on the texas members section but thought I would start here. Any help with this is appreciated Thanks!
