Good ----. I've thought about doing that, but I never tried. So far, I'm happy with my HF, but, doing something like this for a spare may be a good exercise in fabrication. :y

I have a stock cast manifold I might try something like this on. Wouldn't that be something, cast iron flux core migged to iron water pipe, I wonder how long it would hold up.

^I'm also using flux core...welding from cast iron on the turbo to gavanized steel...
its worked pretty well more me so far....

Re: building a log manifold on a cheap budget
 

Right on that ---- is HMT approved O0

Damn...how many times are people gonna rip off my old cast iron gas pipe log manifold idea? lol FYI, make sure you heat it with a torch before, during, and after you weld it together otherwise it'll develop stress cracks.

You must LOVE to grind, damn.

Re: building a log manifold on a cheap budget
 

For real, I would've beveled the edges and let it look like welded water pipe.

Re: building a log manifold on a cheap budget
 

lol...i thought of that,
but yesterday I grinded down the threads on the inside...today I may be welding it up & posting some more pics.
I need to change my axle boot today thou.
