Default Re: welding a block

Is it OK to post now? LOL
This is what it looks like once I started picking away at the weak spot.
A little big for a pipe plug, as I would have to go to 1/2" and I am worried there is not enough meat for the threads. I'm going to talk to the machine shop about a freeze plug. After all, weren't the early blocks equipped with a similar setup?
