is the block cracked or the sleeves? i would say take it to a engine builder to see the problem. if its too expensive it might be cheaper to get a replacement block. just my 2 cents.

We work on a different kind of hybrid here, combinations Honda never intended

Putting anything other than the stock engine in *your* hybrid will probably be more trouble than it's worth.
