 Welded the 16 extra lugs on to my Resto block to help hold down the Indy 360-2 heads. Used the head as a template using a drill sleeve in the extra head bolt holes to line them up perfectly...got 3/8 ARP studs going in them....used stainless mig wire and Argon/helium to keep from cracking.....hope it works...and helps. Don't try this with roller lifters.....I am using Smith machine composite solid flat-tappets and I ground out just enough material for them to sneak by.

At least your trying, but if it does work, you will only find the next weak link.

The lugs are welded on the sides and on the bottom...not across the top, which is why the parting line can be seen...I feel confident on the welds....I don't mind being different and going outside the box. I'll know when the studs are tightened down if all holds well. Half of the thread is in the meat of the block where the original lugs were milled off due to tooling of the 59 degree lifter bore..This is a R3 block with 4 bolt mains, heavier walls, bulkheads,deck, and filled pan rails, Manley pro-series rods , callies crank and custom Ross turbo pistons and pins, so there ain't much left in the way of the next weakest link!

I have welded on blocks many times but all I ever used was nickle rod.... hope it works out for you... easy way to test it is... hit it with a hammer... hit the lug you welded on

I saw bolt on bosses for a big Ford and I liked the idea of it......A-460 heads on a stock block for po' folks like myself. I never got that far , but I had some crazy combos back then because I would buy stuff , then figure out how to use it. This works on paper..........let us know how it holds up on steel.

I think I still have that magazine article covering Charlie Malyuke's modifications--if I remember correctly, he used a silicon-bronze weld process.
I am sure it will hold since them extra Studs/Nuts are only going to be torqued to 45lbs. You only need enough so you don't pop a lung!!
