  JB Weld?  If it's just an opening into the coolant area that might work.
If
it's an actual crack, visible to the deck then the block was bad to start
with,
thanks to a PO.  :(
  Perhaps the opening to the coolant is why the bolt's rusted in place to
start with.  Sealing it off would remedy that.  You'd be amazed at what's
been done!  Of course if you have a perfectly good block sitting around,
why not use it right?  :)
