The only way this block would be a boat anchor is If you take it to the wrong machine shop and they weld it.
I have posted this picture a few times in the forum but it's worth reposting to save a valuable block.
It's a common occurence on Model A/B engines to crack in center exhaust seats due to heat.
Since you're in California I would find a machine shop capable of metal stitching. If not; a trip to
Lock n Stitch in Turlock,CA would suffice for a reliable repair.
