the cost in time and the welding don't really make it worth while. I doubt they will weld it in the car. they will want the block stripped and cleaned.
I could also have it stitched as well but, there again cost is more than its worth.
for the cost of a running slant it is not worth it. I would probably be better off finding another cast crank slant. cleaning & prepping the block and transfer my parts over to it.
