Default 5.3 intake manifold repair

Ok so when I was at the junk yard gettin my motor the guy was lifting it with a fork lift. When he was sitting it down the fork broke one if the studs on top of the intake also puttin a hole in it. I want to figure out how to fix it. My plans are to take all the crap off it and smooth it out. I saw one on another forum that looked very nice. Just gotta figure out how to fix the hole. Plastic epoxy, fiberglass? Any ideas. I have another manifold thats good I just want to try and fix this one so I can try and smooth it out nice and clean.

Get another from the junkyard. Should cost about as much as that tube of epoxy you want to use on the broken one.
