Bondic maybe a solution, depending on how accessible the holes are. I haven't used it, but want to throw it out there as a possible solution to replacing the block or engine. At this point the OP has little to loose from attempting a repair that might work, so long as it isn't a series of failed attempts, which would get old real fast.
I believe, from what I read about Bondic; (related to a plastic radiator gooseneck repair in another thread here on TBN), that it is supposed to 'weld' anything, by using UV light as it's curing method. This might just work if the holes can be filled with the material and then cured with the UV light, after thoroughly cleaning the mating surface, whatever and where ever it turns out to be located behind the freeze plug hole.
To the OP- get us pics if at all possible to help with solution suggestions.:thumbsup:
