   All hope is not lost. Modern welding equipment and techniques can repair that block. Check these companies.

   This company is in the UK, but they show a series of pictures that follow the repair process to give you an idea of what can be done.

   Thanks for the link, but I think I can pick up a bare 289 block pretty cheap. I think I'll stick with that motor, it has all new connecting rods, pistons, lifters, valves, double roller timing set, good crank, oil pump, etc. So, I have almost a complete built engine, minus the most important thing.
