Try a weld repair
TARGET the manifold to prevent warping
1) V notch joint prep along the crack
2) preheat the manifold to at least 200F
3) use a cast type welding rod & stick weld the joint
4) cover the manifold with a fireproof blanket to let it cool slowly
If the weld cracks then grind out the weld metal & V notch the joint again BUT use a 110-15 low hydrogen welding rod & a little more amperage...
Good Luck
