    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
