A Company that does fabrication stuff for me taught one of my summer high school interns at Ford how to TIG weld in one afternoon. Kid did a nice job on flat stock.

Course the machine was set perfect for the welding process.

I can get you "numbers" for a basic Header welding type process and the purge gas that they recommend for the stainless type IF you tell me the machine you will be buying. Don't even think about trying to make proper headers without the purge welding process (separate gas tank fills the header tube to remove internal slag formation).

Default welding classes

that reminds me of taking my welding classes back in the day at College of Lake County Gary one of the instructors and a fellow racer had us working on his Nova for the class project. Showed us about filling the tubes just like your talking about Tom for doing stainless headers. If I remember correctly think we used a Tri mix back then.

Wow, this new twin turbo build is going to be one to watch.

What are your plans for the chassis & suspension BrandX ? That much horsepressure is hard to make hook
