I can understand wanting to fix the crack, but use the proper process and procedure. Mig is not the process. TIG is what you want and use heavy copper backing bar. At best now you could cut the turkey #### section out and begin slow buildup till you can blend the sides together. It would also help to sandblast the whole thing before you put any heat to it. Once you weld it up it would be best to get a machinist to mill everything to the proper dimensions
Thanks for the laugh...this went good with the morning coffee!
tig would have been the best thing , mig heat way too much , that why people that weld thin piece together use tig , not mig !

That was an expensive lesson learnt...only thing left to do now is put it in the garbage can and have done with it!

Good old fashioned gas weld with a coat hanger as filler wire after a solvent soak and bake out. Controlled heat input and stepped heat and deposition is key to welding cast materials. A skilled gas welder could makes the welded joint every bit, but no more stronger than the parent metal, causing none of the distortion, hard spots, weakening of heat affected zone, etc. that may be problematic with other welding methods, including GTAW (tig).

It'll be fine, just restrict your shooting to reduced loads and you will be A-OK.
