Should I replace the stock 360 intake?

Below 2 pictures is how I was basically told how to fix it.
High temp paint on the inside, high heat orange on the outside. The self tapping screw holds together 2 separate cut and pounded into shape metal @.060 thick. I. Weld has s in between.

The bottom intake has a cast rate of late-ish ‘72 and the choke well I like. Nothing to rot out.
