Find a welder who knows how to weld and install a nipple just long enough to clear the hood. I would suggest a rod like Nickalloy or stainless as a second choice. (Nickalloy easy to machine). Brazing could work too, but the manifold should be taken off so the job can be done in a comfortable position. Another possibility is make friends with a machinist and borrow his 2" NPT tap and fix the threads. (tap is $150-200). If you choose the welding repair, you will need to drill and tap two 3/8" holes and install set screws to push on the bottom of the nipple from opposite sides. Welding a ring around a pipe will reduce it's diameter and the bottom of the pipe will be loose in the manifold. Thus, the bottom of the pipe is free to swing back and forth, fatiguing the weld.
