If that hole is the only thing wrong, tap it and plug it.

all those holes look like they could be tapped for tapered pipe plugs, providing of course, they are somewhat close to the hole size of "??" required for "??" pipe thread. example, drill size for 1/4" NPT is 7/16". you could then use square head aluminum pipe plugs with a good sealant [JB weld perhaps ?], then cut/grind the plug[s] flush with the casting surface. lots of work involved though, to do this. hopefully, you didn't pay much for that intake. unless, of course, you want/decide to use it on an LA block.

I would think that Mr. TIG is your friend.

The hole in the water passage is for a mechanical temp gauge sender. Pretty common, but there isn't a lot of material there so be careful if you plan to use it or plug it with a pipe plug.

I would think that Mr. TIG is your friend. correct. but does the OP have one, or know how to weld aluminum ? if he has to send that intake out, it may cost more to repair those holes than it is worth.

By the looks of those holes it looks like it was factory drilled and he just hogged the lower portion out. Just weld a threaded fitting in the water port or plug weld it.
