I had a block that I repaired with JB Weld and drove the car another 10 years that way. I wouldn't push your luck by drilling at the ends of the crack. Just wire wheel it, maybe put some metal prep on it to etch the metal like you were going to paint it and then press in the JB with a putty knife. You haven't got anything to loose making this repair.
