First - awesome build.

Second - keeping your sanity when you hit major roadblocks is the supreme test of your character. At least that's what I tell myself as I slowly put down the tool I've just used to break/bend/destroy some part I've been working on for the past 4 hours..

Third - I have absolutely no experience with Subie engine cases, but there's no way a talented guy with a good tig welder could repair those gouges - and then re-machine. Sounds academic now - and I'm sure you researched that option. Damn shame.
