So, David, what about welding a cast iron block, a one inch crack in one of the crank webs?

And, are you set up to weld a gouge in a crakk and check it for straightness?

Thanks, David, I'll get a hold of you later. This is on the back burner right now, but I do have the motor out of the racecar. What little $$$ I have right now is going into the 67 Coupe.
