You could always do what Chuck Roberts did to his 1965 original Tri-Power intake, if you could not get it welded properly.

You could have a machine shop remove the cross-over completely, use steel plates to cover the exhaust cross-over openings, and have the intake aluminized so it looked like the extremely rare 1965 aluminum Tri-Power prototype intake that a Detroit Collector showed me years ago.

Chuck's 1965 GTO always got a lot of looks when people saw that intake.
