Welded block..?? :/

Where exactly did you bust the block?

Block repair is usually pretty effective when performed by a legit shop...but for the cost of a shortblock anymore, it would be a toss up to see whats cheaper.

Plenty of big boy cars have welded blocks/heads, no issues.

It's really tough to say. Assuming you didn't damage the liners, and didn't make a mess out of it...it may be ok. But typically if there is a hole in the block itself it makes a big mess.

Again, it would be certainly 'smart' to begin looking for a shortblock, and then get a quote on the reapir.
