Thanks, I call around to some local shops. I just was hoping for someone that already knows of someone that does a good job. Just afraid that I'll take it to a welder and says that he knows what he's doing but really doesn't and in 5 months I'm back here again.

That's one of the problems of cast iron that goes through heat cycles. It boils down to on how good the cast is for weld repair to begin with. If it got a lot of voids in the casting. That makes it even harder.
