Too much invested in this car not to finish. So tig welding steel/stainless is no problem. Aluminum still giving my some issues, but not going to stop until I got it down.
Going to try to pick car up early next week if not sooner.

More pics anywhere? New to the Ford world myself. Always had Chevys in the past so, I like it!! :-D I've heard lots of good things about the Holley stand-alone self-tuning EFI. Keep us updated.

Depending on how thick the aluminum is it helps to make a couple pre heating runs down the joint to be welded. I don't usually round the tungsten over before I start welding. Also I use one size bigger tungsten than I would if it were steel and I get a really sharp point on it.. This keeps the ball on the tip of the tungsten smaller which keeps the arc tighter and less likely to wander! Sick car!! You'll get aluminum down no prob it's just time

+1 this is the first thing I thought of after seeing that gm motor in a ford. I suppose I will never understand why people do that. You could have probably built a 351w based 408 stroker from an aluminum dart block for the same $ & kept it how it should be. All Ford.

Stainless works makes up sweep turbo headers for lsx that work on fox bodies looks similar to what you had built. Hope you didn't pay more than 1100 for those custom ones I had custom headers built for an older project they cost me 1600

I ordered the headers from Chris at stainless steel works after he said it would fit my particular setup. They did not fit and it ended up costing me $250.00 to ship them back and a 20% restocking fee. I will never deal with them again!
I have yet to see the invoice but was quoted 2,200-2,500.
Looks like I was taken for. And it was my friends buddy. =|

^ I wouldn't be quick to think you got taken.. Building headers isn't like a set amount of time it takes .. It's always a shitload of time and materials aren't cheap

Depends on who does them. Sounds like you were taken pretty good IMO. $2000+ for a pair of upswept stainless turbo headers. Paying for a name. Like the build though. LS stuff is trendy, yes. But, it's proven and the aftermarket support is off the hook!! Build your car like you want it and have fun.

Thank you for the advice. I will give that a try.

I have always been against these types of swaps myself. I would have to say that my friend slowly changed my thoughts into this matter.
If I were to do it over, I would go the route of the Coyote motor and twins.
