Default 427 side oiler

Am wondering if my block has any value or should I just scrap it? When I bought my B&B it was in the car but started blowing water immediately. Took it apart and found a 428 Cobra jet crank, TRW pistons .030 over, Lemans rods but the block is a different story. Two cylinders have sleeves and one has a vertical crack, it appears at one time it threw 2 rods and damaged the base of 4 of the cylinders and blew two holes in the side wall of the block which have been repaired by welding plate into the holes. When I bought the car it ran real well but like I said it was blowing water. Scrap? Thanks for any info. Chas
