Ready to put in the new motor and found the pass side engine mount holes were stripped. OK, Put in some helicoil type repair kits. Went to tighten up the bracket and this happened.

How can I fix this? It's like a chunk of the mounting boss is ready to fall out. I've welded cast iron before (pre-heat with oxy torch and special welding rods), but this looks very tricky and I don't have the equipment at home.
Anyone know a very good boilermaker in SE QLD or have any advice? Grout/epoxy repair of some sort? Scrapping the engine is not an option as it has had a lot of money spent.
I need a drink right now. :mad:
