Kurt my friend who is helping me with this project is a professional welder, and said it could 'possibly' be welded. He hasn't seen the part/crack yet though... I will at least clean the manifold up and show it to a few people here, and see what they think. I don't think JB weld would hold up in an exhaust manifold either.
If I understand correctly the difference between brazing and welding, then brazing is at a lower temperature and would just fill the crack (like solder, or on a radiator tank), where as welding really is welding, which is much more structural and would require a lot more temp and energy....
