Is the upper manofold weldable?

[Tommyquest]

I pulled my upper intake out of storage today and noticed that there are cracks around the bolt holes. I must have missed them when I removed it over the winter (pretty dark out at the time). The aluminum looks somewhat porous. Can it be welded? I'm way over budget on this project and am trying to avoid having to buy another upper. TIA

i second that - for sure its very repairable - take it ot a good machine shop or wander into a heating/air place - they're often excellent aluminum welders, and 20 bucks goes a long way
