Hole in block

Hey guys a guy asked me if I wanted to trade for my jacked up 99 f250 7.3 for his 2008 f350 6.4 with $20,000 in mods he says. There is a hole in the block. He says that an injector dropped and put a crack in the block. I'm not very firmililar with the 6.4's but could this just be aa crack in the head? Also is it repairable without completely getting a new engine? I've heard of guys getting away with just really good welds. I'm asking this because I do not have the budget to buy a brand new engine

likely there is more to the story and you should just ignore him. Don't really think an injector would do that.
