That is not true ..
However you have to be just a little bit smarter than what your working with ..

Billet machined parts win over welding every time at my shop.
With that said we weld on average 50 hours a week also.

Fun little project either way. Will be a blast to run.

Not gonna post a thousand pics on your thread --->

A head that get's peppered .. gonna cut a new set of billets

Swivel bracket for a 15" can ... carve a new one

Front half gets a window .. makin a new front half

Block splits a sleeve register .. new billet block

What I said to Fugi was .. just gotta be smarter than what your workin with ..

Chaz = I make puddles and "chips" every day ..

Nice project .. carry on

Yes sir. I guess I was referring more to parts in general not so much just Outboard parts.
I couldn’t find the instruction manual on how to do this so I’m just seeing what works.
I love doing stuff like this.

Dude, I listen to everyone smarter than me then, do WTF I want anyhow.

It either works or it doesn’t and sometimes you don’t know until you try.

I will say though, when gambling, I’m right more than I’m wrong and love the challenge of trying something different .

Still want to build a hot rod 5 banger Force ��

Great read Dago. Keep it coming. Very interesting to see it come about. You are talented in your machining. I do a little of it. And it gives me a greater appreciation for those that make pieces like that.

Nice stuff and that should work. Another way is just carve a whole new exhaust adapter which can also be half as thick as the stocker. Make the top mounts/clamp to the swivel any way you want.
