LB block repairable (or can it be)?????

This is not within my experience, but I'll venture my opinion that the conversion of a pre-LB block to accept inserts would be a more logical investment than to try to salvage a block that is known to have major cracks going in. Hopefully you'll get some expert advice, but again my opinion, the cracks you describe sounds like you have a candidate to practice repair technique, but nothing more.

That's what I figured, but I'm wanting guys with a lot more experience and knowledge than me to chime in. Thanks
