The engine was running perfectly before it blew. Anyone have any sugestions?

my friend said that his mechanic could do a cast iron weld on it? or sompthing like that

No, never try to fix anything that way. If a real mechanic saw that car, he wouldn't think to weld it, he would REPLACE it. I bought a car with a cracked head once, and I later found out that the previous owner's mechanic welded it back up (Which never works) it caused engine damage. I almost wrecked into a truck when I was going 30mph and the engine decided to die. I love going 30 with no power steering or working brakes. Damn E-break never works.............

Replace the block
