so, my swap progress has halted due to finding a GIANT FUCKING HOLE in my inteake manifold. Of course i only discovered it after the engine was already installed......

The hole is from a bracket breaking off (the one that holds the heater hoses up).

If i hold the broken off piece of the bracket up,there is still a smallish hole where the metal just disappeared.

Should i just use JB Weld? I'm assuming this would be the easiest/cheapest/most practical solution. but just wanted to hear what y'all have to say
