    83 Chevy SB crack repair...braze or JB Weld?

    people weld up the 3.0 where the block cracks on the outside. the V engines crack inside the lifter valley like you see where the block is the thinnest. I would not attempt to fix an SBC block. get an appropriate motor out of a truck at a u-pull it.
