What are "slugs"?...
If it's suspension mounting points, IMHO DON'T weld on cast-iron diff-housing. It will crack.
If using axle-housing tubes instead, mount in jig BEFORE welding to prevent warping... OR... keep axles & diff installed (and keep cooled) to stiffen diff-housing... (not as good. BTW oil burns!)
OR... use different suspension links instead (eg. "equal 4-link" & panard-rod?)
... STRONGER and more reliable setup than welding on cast-iron housing IMHO.

"slugs" <i know not what you mean> & and you can weld on cast iron with the correct procedure. |

^ ^ ^ Yup... but how many 2nrs have access to (or can afford) the correct welding proceedure?
Incorrect procedure...
Correct procedure...

(...and should be COOLED in a CONTROLLED manner!)
Another way to repair a damaged cast-iron block (for N/A or Diesel applications ONLY) is to use
the "Metalock" method...
Cut out the cracked area, cut a steel plug to fit... drill a surrounding "ring" of small holes...
screw in Nickel plugs... surface grind plug edges. |
IMHO I would NEVER use any welded block for a high-boost turbo engine.

Obviously the post with pix shows what happens when bad cast-iron weldments fail. 
BTW did you read the last two links?... Axles... Axles... Axles. |
