[AT] Looking for a cast iron welder

[john hall]

Call around to a couple of automotive machine shops and they should be able 
to recommend someone used to doing engine repairs. There are some shops that 
specialize in this and will guarantee the repair. We had a Ferguson block 
welded up and remachined where it had split between the cylinders. I don't 
know who the shop was that did it but am thinking it was up around 
Burlington or Greensboro.
