Well if you hadn't moved out of Ohio you could have driven down to
Arcstarter Acres, paid me one (1) beer and the job would have been done!

Hey Wayne I have a large lathe and mill now.  Haha! :)

My KBD headers are also cracked all to hell down near the outlet flange  I
think the pipes are under stress, and over time all the vibrations just
pulls them apart.

Long story short just last night I tigged what I could, but then ran into a
tight spot, and had to use the oxy-acetylene to get into a nook and it's
matching cranny.  Doesn't look good but it will work.

Wyane I think you need to carry in your header with a 6 pack to your local
Midas and have the local gomer mig it back up.
