I bought the car with a cracked head... Now I have fitted another full engine to the car, but I wonder what to do with this ... What do you think?? Could be repaired or doesn�t worth it?

Being that it is an aluminum head, yes it could be repaired. Is it cost worthy is the problem.

Look around you can find entire engines for a couple hundred bucks.

+1, it can be repaired but it's not worth it.

I could use some parts, how much?

If it were mine, I would use it to practice porting, fabbing up ITB's, and I would cross-section it on a bandsaw to make some sweet paperweights.

Looks like my old head.

I have the extra parts, if anyone needs something.
