Cracked Blocks

Anybody else found a 7.3 with a crack in the block . How about a post with where the crack is ,what year the engine is , what you did to repair or replace it. I ran across two yesterday here in Ar. and I am wondering if this is a problem .

I could take a hot glue gun and fill that cavern in my block.

No. Not yet. Still watching. I'll have to take a 5 gallon bucket to set on. There ain't no seats in it anymore. No radio either. 18 hours of drivin' to the rythym of wind blown plastic. Oh Yeah. I better take some ear plugs!
