JB weld or epoxy or grout 8ba block

There are a couple of other ways that don't use welding or epoxy.You just have to think outside the box. :)

Just like a politician, I changed my mind.

Wow! That BELZONA epoxy looks to be amazing.
Well worth a try instead of welding.
 
I said it before and say it again...you can use a lot of methods...all of them including a lot of heat going into the block will cause you such an amount of machining it will cost more then finding another block.
I prefer oxy-actylen when fixing a manifold cause it gives you a beautiful colourmatching and flows real nice, any oil comes out nicely in the preheat so usually a beautiful result...wouldn´t even think about going near an engineblock with that setup.
In a perfect world the block has no built in tension and goes back to same measurements after heating up and cooling down...in my world i end up decking and linehoning it...even when i can do that myself it takes a lot of time.
Epoxi works if you can get the surface really really clean.
Anything gluebased is just as good as the surface you stick it to.
