If by block you mean the crankcase,dpn't despair. I needed to replace mine after a broken connecting rod poked thru it about 2 years ago. The replacement case only cost $350. Now if ya gotta replace the crankshaft,that's another story! They're going for upwards of $2500 these days.
Try calling (or have your overhauler call) some engine parts guys. I believe my overhauler bought my replacement case from Jerry Meyers Aviation near Tacoma,Washington --- 360-893-3300.

Eric, thanks for the input. Ive found that the case goes for about $1000. to $1200. YELLOW TAGGGED. Div Co costs $685.00 to go thru the case and yellow tag it. So with about a 3or4 hundred purchase it looks about right. I'm spending money like a drunken sailor getting this acft back in order. Should have a pretty good engine when complete.
