Strip it down to the bare block, put it on an engine stand and melt the EZ-out and bolt out of the block with an O/A torch. the steel bolt and extractor will melt long before the cast iron threads will be damaged. you'll still need to chase them with a tap though.

I usually try and weld on, but when it's flush like that is hard, but if you use a bolt that is smaller, just weld around where the treads are and you should be alrite b/c the weld doesn't like to bond to cast if you get off a little, then try, another thing I've done is just take the wire feed and built up a nube then weld a nut on, good luck, that sucks when that happens, but we've all about been there and done that, lol
