Broken ear on block for starter?

Hey all, here is my problem. I recently picked up a 350 motor (new rebuild) 4 bolt main,bored 30 over, new cast crank, 202 fuely heads, RV cam and more. The guy I got it from told me that the outside ear piece where the starter bolt threads into the block was broke. He told me it would only be about $75 bucks to fix it. I took his word and drove four hours to pick it up. I got home and started calling around and was told around $300 to fix it if at evenly possible. My question has this ever happened to anyone else and if so what was the best fix. One option I was told was to have a stud welded in the hole and then get a gear reduction starter with a narrower lip for the stud to slide in. Possible or bad idea? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
