The block is 319-T5 Aluminum and I would imagine you would need a decent welder to weld since it is pretty thick. <----(may be wrong im not a pro welder or anything) but I know my Mig will only weld up to 1/4" thick plate. Here is a website that will give you most of the material info you may be curious about http://www.smokemup.com/tech/ls1.php. Hope this helps maybe someone can chime in about the welder and wire/rod you would require to weld it.
