I'm sure the only reason the welders didn't want to weld it is so that they wouldn't be liable for it breaking in half. Hope it turns out alright for you though.

Yeah you cant fill that in with wire without expecting it to crack, jon, cut some little pieces of exhaust pipe to fit in there. If you use a high heat setting and wire brush the cast iron before you weld, it should hold just fine... mine does

My O2 housing looks the same way, but my buddy adam managed to weld the piping to the cast. I dunno how stong or how long it'll last, but it passed the hammer test
