Not a miller draft.. But it reminded me of this thread. Just saw this today at the SEMA show. It even had its own holder.

Are you drooling at that delicious case of MGD ?

Yeah so I'm happy with these answers.. I'll go ahead and try it.

Haha. nope, not the MGD. Drooling over the water pump and polished brackets. Almost makes me want to replace the SBC in my camaro for a 3900... almost .

14ga mild steel to cast iron.





Still together after the guy blew up his car, was running it for a year.

Cast iron cat turned into turbo adapter.



Cast iron N/A down pipe turned into turbo dump.






TIG welded with 3/16" mild steel filler. 200amps, no pre-heat (although I let the torch sit for a bit before filling), no cool down.

For what it's worth, I welded the flange and box to the stock crossover from a 3100v6 96. So far it holds up pretty well, no leaks or cracks....yet. I only have roughly 200 miles on it driven hard in boost.

I also welded the 1-3-5 exh manifold closed at the merge out. That to holds and has held for 3 years so far.

I've done something similar. My stock crossover flanges were welded to the crossover pipe. I also had a front manifold cut up and welded to a 3/8" flange. The crossover has survived many miles with no problems. I'm not yet sure how the manifold will do.

I forget the stick number but there is one with high nickel content that's supposed to be used for welding steel to cast iron.

I have acces to a stick with that rod. I can tack it here and goto my old mans and weld it up with the stick. I just wonder if it's worth the hassle..... hmm

I have had good results using SS welding rod when welding cast iron to carbon steel. Both arc welded and TIG. Old timer told me that was the only thing he would use on cast iron if he did not want it to come back to the shop for repair. So far I have seen the same thing.
