can you ofw a turbo header or regular header i am good at ofw but id like to know if its posible before i go out and buy all the materials and fab it up, i understand it is posible but will it last is what im asking?

Re: oxygen-ace welding on a mani?
 

you talking about GAS welding.
Oxy-Acet...

answer is Yes.
i am using Gas rig to weld ---- with but its MUCH MUCH easier to use a MIG or even ( if you have the large budget TIG)
Gas welds large and time consuming
MIG can be large and less time ( depending on experince)
TIG thats the fucken ----.... hands down nothing looks as pretty as TIG...PERIOD

and then you have Classic ARC ( stick ) that can be good just get the right sticks and make sure you wear a turtle kneck..lol
purple sun tan..

if you can combine matrials like metal... im sure it can be done.
it all depends on that amount of time you have...

has any done JB weld...lol i know its stupid it would be funny to watch the manifold fall apart..

Yes, cadracers SBC manifold was done using Oxy/Acet and coat hangers for rod/filler

i used fencing wire for filler..lol

with my NAPZ manifold then i ran out of Acetylne and used the mig for the rest..

gas welding just give a better looking bead and just as good penitration so thats why i try and use it the most my mig is a miller i wouldent give it up for the world my brother used it to put a roll cage in my dads car mig is bad ass for thick tubeing but i still like my old gas setup, chainlink huh lol getto gas welding at its best lol

Re: oxygen-ace welding on a mani?
 

In my opinion gas welding sucks a fat one due to the high intensity heat that warps everything to ----. :P

evryone has there openion i suppose if a normal torch is to much heat use a smiths torch its ment for aircraft welding or the henrob torch witch produces a pensil tip sized flame its all about the equipment

Have you ever gone to school? There are these nice things that computers utilize now: Punctuation. Using periods/commas/etc... things become easier to read with a clear message. I don't think you welding is going to work, you don't have the patience or attention to detail. Learn to type and get back to us...

gee i didnt think we were going to have someone correcting our grammer while on HMT. ive welded with oxy-acetylene before and it was fun as hell. haha. the only downside is it uses so much heat that you would end up warping everything. but still fun ;D
