This is one of those things where if you ask 6 different people, you'll get 6 different answers (opinions). You can definitely weld w/the axles in place & the housing full off lube.

I would make sure to minimize heat soak & change the fluid when your done for sure.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
