BTW, new fill, close to 64 mpg and best miles/kwh I think I have recorded.

That was an option I had considered. Welding on cast iron is tricky enough without it being a part that is heated and cooled repeatedly. I do have several AWS certified welders at work I can chat with to get tips and advice from. Occasionally I can even get them to weld things up for me.

64mpg is pretty darned good. On my commute, I struggle to hit 50mpg. I can get 60+ for short stints (15 miles or so) but I can never keep it up there for a whole tank. I suppose that head gasket doesn't help any.
