Looks good, but the blockoff plate actually looks reasonably thick....could you not just have tapped the 1/2" NPT right into the blockoff plate?

I have cut 1/2 NPT into oil return line flanges that were only about 5/16 thick. I just stayed a little shallow with the tap to make sure the fitting did not protrude. Also, not sure what this is blocking off, but since there is a fitting there, there is obviosly something going through.....so there COULD be an opening behind that area to accept a protruding fitting. Maybe I would have just done it this way because I don't weld

Also, not sure what this is blocking off I think it is a blockoff for where the water pump is, to run an electric water pump. (Anthony's hint on the first page )

In that case, there would likely have been no problem with a fitting protruding into the cavity behind.
I guess as a tool & die maker I learned to dislike welding because it is "inaccurate" and distorts things....
No doubt, though, that it is a FAST and THOROUGH way to attach things....

Looks like a nice clean job. Like I said, I guess it is just how you are used to thinking. When you are used to flatness needing to be within a thousandth or less, you tend to avoid welding.....or at least do all your machining AFTER welding and stress relieving...
