I need a weld shop somewhere in Portland/Vancouver area that would weld a exhaust manifold. Any suggestions?

Need a factory cast manifold welded???? Or is it like a header or do you need a custom manifold made?

His L20b round exhaust port manifold has a big crack going down the outside of it on the 2nd and 3rd ports, it is cast metal, I don't know if I could weld that type of metal with my mig, but I guess I should have tried.
All I had was an early square port manifold, his is the W58 head type.
It was a good sized crack, about 6 inches long as I recall.
If you cannot find something by next week, I can try to weld it up, or if you have time off tomorrow, I will be home.
Call me wayne
