if you have to strip the motor down to heat the block for welding you might as well just replace the block......like a previous poster said.....sbc's are cheap

I've had some cast iron axles welded by preheating them with a torch, then welded to the axle tubes before. Is that not an exceptable way and would not require disassembly?
