have them weld a flange in, a 3 bolt slip flange would be best

these seem to work well since they dont use a gasket http://tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:eyCDdFfbQmDs7M:http://www.streetperformance.com/ART/PRODUCTS/100635/15922_sm.jpg


but ive always liked http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:x9Ym6HtQrYk25M:http://www.streetlegaltv.com/forum/attachments/2387d1242674858-mls-collector-gasket-mr-gasket-4885g.jpg

well my slow leak is gettin worse...   guess ill drop the pan put on a new gasket an some rtv... was hoping it would wait til i could get it to the carwash wash off some of the old grease from old motor.....  the exhaust place gave me a tentative schedule of wed to have exhaust welded..... cant even quote me a price... this is gonna be fun
gonna have this welded in to try to prevent headers from crackin

wow i did not know that made that  wish i knew 3weeks ago

[79coyotefrg]

Kevin,  you find out what they want before they start, if its over $150 WALK OUT

[baldwookie]

yeah.... why i said was gonna be fun..... fightin with em... knowing there gonna try to rip me off... only shop in town

[79coyotefrg]

so, if they give you THAT, then go to napa or  autozone, buy a couple pieces of tube and a glass pack and clamp it in place


or at least tell them thats what you will do

[baldwookie]

yep....

[79coyotefrg]

Kevin   i was stripping that block you blew up HOLY CRAP MAN

i should take pictures , i had to drive the pistons out with my 3 pound baby sledge

and one i beat the hell out of and its STILL in there

i hate to say it but i need a bigger sledge hammer

[baldwookie]

what did u expect from a screw up like me

[unclejpl4x4]

     

[baldwookie]

well bought a new toy.. hf 90 amp mig....   cheaper than payin clowns at muffler shop to weld it on... (they wanted to put cat etc...)   besides i can learn to weld some... before going an gettin a good one..... i can still do some of the things i want to weld  on my truck... with a little practice

[79coyotefrg]

   is it capable to weld 1/4 inch??  not that you have 1/4 inch metal on your truck but

cut a short stick of tube and try to weld it together, practice on a few pieces  before you get under the truck

[baldwookie]

its rated at more like an 1/8....... im hoping i'll still be able to use it on a few things.....  yeah ill practice a bit before i climb under the truck.... it aint nothing fancy.... just a cheap mig

[unclejpl4x4]

i have been welding 1/8 with it most of my truck frame  on high and #6 wire speed   and a plate of 3/16   works fine .

I recommend
1. low
2. #1-2 speed
3. little welds stop then weld more befor the puddle cools

do not use the wire that came with the welder throw it in the scrap pile   get the Chicago wire at HF or even better  name brand.

[baldwookie]

well got part of the exhaust welded..... went to start it up so i could get truck closer to the welder..... no go.... no fuel at carb..either filter or pump(used one from old motor)....   IM REALLY GETTING TIRED O THESE GREMLINS IN MY !!!!!!!!!!!!!    i give up...........

[unclejpl4x4]
