Sounds like the proper way to learn how to weld...lol I'm going to purchase a welder and have at it I suppose. Where I work there is a lot of welding building cabs for Caterpillar bulldozer, mini hydraulic excavator, and small wheel loaders. I install the glass in the cabs so no welding for me. Might talk to some of my buds on teaching me.
Ryan Hogan (tuner guy at Flying Ryan Performance) had a turbo system fabbed up using headers on a 408. The cost was right at 5K.... he is buds with the shop owner as well. Kind of blew him back when he got the bill...lol
So there is a lot of fab work using headers. Ryan said it was done right but was expensive.
It's hard to believe but I get better gas mileage out of my SC'd 408 than I did with the stock 5.9 mag. It's all in the tune. If I could keep my foot out of it then the gas mileage would go up even more.
The 5.9 was really bad on gas.
