Nice repair on the broken ear! Yeah, the freeze plug hole is not a candidate for drill & stitch repair.
Weather you use the Tig Tectic filler rod or something very similar I believe welding is your only option.
Have it welded and forget it. It's not in a high stress area. The area just needs to be V'd out and
preheated to around 250, then welded. Don't let anyone tell you any other "Hocus Pocus" B.S. It.s
a straightforward repair. Good luck and keep us in DaLoop!
