Re: chevy 350
If your block is cracked it has to either be replaced or sleeved.<br />A competant engine machine shop should be able to sleeve it, but sleeves can shift and cause problems down the road.<br />The best way is to replace the block. It should be a marine grade block. You will have to rebuild the engine either way and with a new or used block replacement, you will also have to change all the pistons in order to get the right clearances.<br />The last possibility is to buy a complete new or used engine. <br />Its to bad you will have to go through this, but engines have to be winterized. Good luck.
