drill it and stitch it or give it to a professional welder to mend. Takes a preheat and a long cool down and special nickle or ferro-rods. Not impossible but tricky. Find the oldest dude in the shop.....
 
"Cast Iron" Mike in Marysville can weld that up for you. He just turned 72 and his health is failing, so move fast. I think he taught Moses how to weld.
 
Carefully grind the crack to a V shape and arc weld with a nickle rod. We successfully welded cast iron parts in the textile mill that saw a heck of a lot more stress load than this manifold will ever have.
