This guy heats my 1500Sq ft house with no problem.

Brazing will work fine.

Thanx, I'll ask around and find someone who
knows what's up with doing this correctly.

Yeah, very important if you are going to weld it, preheating is important.

Thats why the cylinder head welding failed, that wasnt done properly.

Even brazing isnt a terrific idea to learn on something like that.

I should be able to find someone in Atlanta that knows how
to do this right.. I've done lots of brazing/welding in the past

OK, didnt realise that.

but never on cast iron, I'm not going to practice on this!

Yeah, that would be mad given that its not easy to replace.
