I am often a wild man.I had a car that I hated and I let the antifreeze get weak.It froze up and split the block on both sides from heads to pan. I V’d out both sides and stick welded it using nickel rod. I drove it for years afterward and had no problem with it. 90 Olds 307. I did not remove the heads or pan.
