I'm sure that's repairable Rupert, it's more a question of whether it's cost effective to repair - it might serve you better simply to find another case. 1924 though might be a bit of a challenge. If repairing don't muck about, take it to someone who knows what they are doing and take steps to ensure correct geometry is maintained / recovered.
For fast road use a sleeved block is fine, I've had one in my Ulster for decades. The central cracks if anything are better with a sleeved bore as no risk they are going to extend into the bore; so long as the block survives lining in the first place. By all accounts many people are running with cracks around the centre stud with no great issues.
