Engine Welding ????'s

Hey, I layed down my 95 F3 600. While taking apart I watched the uppper right motor mount snap right in half.Two Questions: What type of metal is the engine? Is this fixable by welding it?

Your best bet is to take it to a local welding shop. You should be able to get it TIG welded for around $100

Yeah, it's aluminum. It can be welded too, since it's only a mounting point. When you have it welded, take the bolt with you and have it in the hole while it's being welded so the threads line up perfectly.
