With a cracked engine block you are pretty much done with that motor and heads,you have a choice to make either a salvage yard motor or a rebuilt one, from this you can make up your mind what you want to do..

The best way you do is to take your car in an automotive shop and they will help you fix the problem of your car. You can also read some car magazine and automotive topic like Racing Odds and Ends, you will find there some car repairs and car tips.

You need a new motor. You can get either a rebuilt one or a salvage motor (usually pulled from a wrecked car).
Depending upon the year, make & model of your vehicle and engine swap can be done in 4-20 hours, and the motor itself can run from $1000-$6000.
Call a few shops, get a few estimates, visit kbb.com to see if it's worth it.
