So after cutting all that material off you just have to weld up those two little holes on the primary runners correct?
That's one clean looking LIM!

Quick reccomendation to you, prior to welding.
Clean and degrease manifold as usual. Wash in tide or dawn and water. Dry
Take a metal pan and pour in a layer of kitty litter/oil absorb and add manifold; cover completely with kitty litter and bake at 350ºF for 6 hours
This will drive out any imbedded oils that will make TIG WELDING MISERABLE!!!!!!!
Plus: Preheat to 250ºF before welding. Some of those castings are pretty gassy
