Few ways to block it temporarily,,,, To bypass best create a loop in engine bay - get a long length of hose and attach it inside the engine bay from where it exits the supply tube (from waterpump) that exits after the exhaust manifold, and for the other end attach it where the heater return goes into the head.
This will give you plenty of time to work through the internal repairs etc.
