You can try elastomer gasket, but you may find yourself redoing the same job repeatedly.
More reliable fix would be to source another block or engine if head is also soft... May work out less hassle and cheaper in long run.
You must of had a serious overheat to soften the block.

For the price I paid for the car I knew it was a bit of a gamble but the head gasket had obviously already gone and was quick fixed for the sale (I stopped as soon as the needle when too high!). For the price of the parts I'm willing to see if this fixes it.
