Re: truck manifold single t76 *update 2*
just because you have heard of cast cracking when welded doesnt mean they did it correctly. there is a way of correctly welding pretty much every metal.

that and what affects the hardness of metal is the carbon content and cast iron has a lot and by heating it up while welding makes the metal very hard and hardness=brittle and just cracks when it is heated up becuase some expands a lot less then the other part of the same piece of metal.

The headers will be fine, especially if you bevel the welded edges like you're doing, then fill the bevel in with weld. That's how I did my cast pipe fitting log.
