this was basically my biggest concern.. i wonder what a appropriate material thickness or gauge would be? and what the egay ones are?

as for mig welding on cast.. ive done it many time over the years, pre heating and post heating help, but for the time and effort of that i could hack some steel shortys up and weld them up, all in less time and look better, my concernis durabilty.. maybe ill jsut stick with original plan and just flip the manifolds.

anyone have any pictures of modified manifolds?
