Welding cast aluminum is not nearly as difficult as cast steel or iron. I work for a large machine manufacturer in Lynchburg and we source a lot of fabricated components locally, I can ask our supply chain guys about local aluminum Fab shops if you are thinking about that route.
I know a guy who is an amazing tig welder, but he doesn't have alot of free time for side work, and it won't be cheap(and I wouldn't expect it to be either).
Thanks

Tig and bore, or weld on plates is ideal.
But since I can't tig weld, and don't want to pour money in this old block, UG sealant and JB weld sounds like the way to go.
Or, I can part out the engine and go LS, but that's $5k+ I'm not ready to spend on it yet either.
I have no use for stupid people.
Yes, dummy me overlooked this before putting the engine back in, but Kowalsky Machine has proven what a bunch of half *** hacks they are.
Shame on me for having faith in their quality of work.
I appreciate everyone's help and input.
Thank you

As for a threaded plug, it's not a bad idea, but I can't imagine what a 2"+ diameter tap costs(regardless of thread size used)...and it won't be easy to thread either.
Thanks anyway
