My bet is it'll never leak. Still has 2 bolts holding it. You could braze the piece back on without worry of cracking. I'd braze it then run a stud in the hole. As far as strength? I've seen wedge blocks with the inner bolt bosses to accept Hemi heads that were brazed on. As well as lifter bores...
I made that mistake initially on my 69 GTX, I drilled both sides to match. Fortunately i immediately seen the error of my ways and repaired my mistake while still in primer.
If you use the same measurements on both sides, one emblem will be placed incorrectly because the pegs are not uniform...
Some weights to ponder: The Trickflow 240 heads weigh 5 lbs. more each than 440Source Stealth heads. The Trickflow Track Heat intake weighs 5 lbs. less than a Holley Street Dominator.
The groove is caused by the check ball moving back and forth in the channel. This is a normal condition. As long as the hole where the ball seats is undamaged there will not be an issue. I build these by the dozen. Never had this condition cause an issue.
