It's going to be a lot easier to address it now than dealing with it when it's in the car, it should be able to be welded successfully.

So now took the bolt out and the thing came off completely can it be welded back still or is my block f***ed now

A good welder should be able to weld that no problem. Its cast so it has to be heated and cleaned and heated again before welding. The threads will probably have to be chased/cleaned up after welding.

Thank you everyone. You have brought me peace at mind

You could actually stick weld that quite easily. They have rods specifically for cast iron. I used those rods on my turbo housing and my exhaust manifold. They weld so smoothly and after grinding the weld disappears into the surrounding metal and it looks like it was never broken.

BUT...cast iron should always be heated before welding for the best weld. Just about any seasoned welder will know how to take care of it.
