Never seen a DSM block crack,,, they are almost industrucable!  Chances are the problem lies elseware.  Unless you put a rod/crank through the side of it.

I cracked one, one winter with water.  It was toast and needed a rebuild anyway though.

if the new engine has less than 50k on it, why do anything?  Just pull the damaged one and drop in the newer one.

While its out, maybe double check the timing belt, external gaskets, etc, but why change anything over?  Unless you have custom pistons, rods etc in the old one.
