I am looking for the specific heat of molten (2750 F) cast iron.

The only info I could find on this subject is from ASM HANDBOOK Volume 1:

Heat of fusion for ferritic and pearlitic grades of ductile iron is about 210 to 230 kJ/kg (90 to 99 Btu/lb).
 
I assume you are looking for the heat capacity of liquid iron - a value I have from school work is 754 J kg-1 K-1.

The data TVP gave you, more correctly referred to as melting enthalpy, is for a different entity also needed for solidification analysis.
