on ram manifold discussion ,  good pix by JY , helping me with an F ; this happened before we got the car . See how thin ? heads up !!!  do not hang head pipe by flange or try to muscle around for fit while bolted . 

Stitch and weld in california can fix but big bucks . They have to heat whole manifold white hot and weld while that hot . They are good ! 
Forget anyone who says they can weld or braze cast iron , it ALWAYS leaves residual stress on cooling unless whole manifold is nearly as hot as the weld . 

I know — “ I know a guy “ etc always follows, but it always has that tensile stress from cooling around the weld , whether it breaks again is a crap shoot , although gas or oven braze preheat may help your 
luck , as braze is a lower temp right at fusion place .. Braze won’t break but cast iron next to it can crack ..
