For a tubing size use 1/2 inch outside diameter with a 7/16 inside diameter locktite applied to the tubing will help seal the crack and I bet you will be able to use the head with out any welding or special work other than a drill press. If the crack is seen on the top of the head then thats another problem where only careful welding will posibly save the head.

I actually like this idea and think it may work. If I were doing it, I would expand a bit on the method though. The holes look pretty rough. I'd take it to a machine shop and have them machine the holes smooth and use aluminum tubing that is almost a press fit...or a shrink fit. Worth a try and shouldn't be that expensive.
