I know I'm right....
I've heard if you peen the weld with a pick hammer as soon as its laid, it helps relieve the cracking too. Interesting....

Nickle rod is your friend on cast iron. Here's a set I made for a member he needed the heat riser tried me hardest to tap the third bolt, was a no go. this one won't have a functioning heat riser although it will still provide a lot of heat mounting it with no gasket on the bottom of an aluminum intake, will be welding it shut throwing it on eBay.

One way to economize that makes sense is to buy a Dutra casting for the front 3, and use a stock manifold for the rear 3 exhaust ports, which retains the factory heat for quicker warmup times. You have to cut and cap the rear section of the manifold.
