I found this today at my go-to junkyard. He wants 100 bucks for it. Zero rust but has a few cracks. Is it salvageable?

I think that's pretty common for those to crack. That looks to be in pretty good condition. I would say it's salvageable.

How big of a job are those to replace? Half day/all day? Couple of hours?

My question is, why would those crack in that way?

Impact?
