make sure you find someone with a great reputation for welding cast Iron , to do it correctly it needs to be heated in an oven to a certain temperature and held at that temperature until entire block has reached temperature evenly ,,has to be welded at that temp and heat kept on even keel until repairs are completed , then then cooled in increments over a period of time. saw it done a few times when I was young evidently my memory is as good on exact details as it use to be. Don't just look for car guys for this type of repairs , if possible look to find European or Russian immigrant professional welders as cast iron is a cheaply produced metal widely used in the east and they experts in cast iron repairs. Indy Cylinder head use to do it years ago.

Thanks, Cudaman. I will see if I can make contact with him. If you figure it out, please send any info.
The one I said has all those capabilities mentioned below, using ovens and cooling a little bit over days. Just texted him for his number, got back fast! 708-749-3420

Have those repairs been welded or brazed? Just looking at the bead color.

This is brazed! If it where my block make sure it is heated and properly stick welded using a strong alloy welding rod. I agree, they are both absolutely brazed.
I love the smell of Deer guts in the morning, it smells like... VICTORY!

I think its properties are stronger than cast iron. As per google: Filler Metal and Flux for Braze Welding The filler metal used for most braze welding is a copper alloy containing roughly 60% copper, 40% zinc, and small amounts of tin, iron, manganese, and silicon. Not as strong as cast iron. It may be "acceptable" but if i where trying the save a rare hemi block i wouldn't be brazing it.
