Another option is go to a place that does micro-welding, but not a jewler, they want too much $$! Cast iron is hard to work with to begin with. Some stores will heat up the body then weld the crack. To start I would look under Ford antique parts for a replacement, also find out if this crack is common. With cast iron pistons I bet they would shake out fillings.
Knew of a guy who replaced with balanced aluminum piston / cast crank shaft & he could get 60MPH out of the little 4 banger
