A little preheat is the right way to go, but there are different grades of cast. The true test will be after it is welded on...let it cool then give it the shake test, or even hit the weld with a hammer. Better to find out now than with a headlamp mounted and miles down the road.

I will certainly agree with Adrian that Mig is the way to go.

This is cast steel of course, not cast iron. That requires a totally different technique and weld material.
