Everything can be fixed with a little effort and a good Machinist and Fabricator Shop.
Personally I would try to screw it down to a set of heads and see where you are with the bolt pattern to the heads.
Any decent machine shop could make you a couple of aluminum plugs that stayed inside the PCV bosses on the manifold with the proper PCV fitting threads and fittings and after they welded it and roughed it up you would not know the intake was ever repaired.

I have 3 of the 1st Run intakes and none of them have ANY ISSUES whatever: Port match, bolt position, etc.
