Can this be fixed? Crack above the thermostat. Got too cold and froze.

3.3L or 2.4L? The easiest is to just bolt on a new intake manifold, but my concern is if that froze, what about the rest of the block?

3.3, two of the lower freeze plugs popped off, but I fixed that. As far as I know the rest is fine.

Bolt on an intake manifold, then if it holds coolant, you will likely have gotten lucky. Things could be worse.
