If your block is that thin - any repairs as mentioned are going to  be
temporary at best. Real temporary, and you know that at the end of  winter;
you are still not going to drive your type 3's until the spring has  washed
away the salt off the roads, so you will really be needing that  radiator 
cap
on several months from now!

My advice - go to  Craigslist and pick up a cheap car to get you through the
winter and into  spring. That way you can drive where you want to go without
worries. You  can even park at the tight front spot at the grocery store ;-)
Then come  spring - sell the car (there's always a demand for cheap cars) 
and
properly  fix your VW... which sounds like another block is in order.
 
 
I do have to agree with Dave on this one. It's either a replacement car,  
or an engine swap. Especially since you'll be wanting to keep your T-3s out 
of  the salt. It might get cold next week, but with the way this winter has 
been  going, you'll be needing that cap in place some days, and get away with 
it off  others. Not a fun way to deal with winter at all. :O
