Yer find another set M8.
Welding can be done at a desperate pinc but due to the amount of heat required to do the job correctly, you often end up with distorted cases and a big macining bill to straighten up the cam and crank tunnels.
If you want to come down to Tassie, I have a couple of cases (1x 36Hp and a couple of 1500's) here you can have LOL.
