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.

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.

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.

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