Cummins exhaust manifold cut to fit

[dzljon]

Cut this down to fit my 4bt cummins and tig welded with my 210ext

Just curious, how did you cut it, and did you have flush mating surfaces or did you have a gap? I've always heard that for cast iron you have to preheat and post heat carefully to avoid cracking. Same deal for you?

I left a small gap chamfered both sides, cut it with a band saw and I did pre heat it and clamped it to the table till cooled to ambient temps

Very nice work. May we see the whole project ? I'm thinking about putting a 4bt in a ranger.

Yes sir! As it unfolds:-) the 4bt will be going in a 2000 jeep tj sport all parts (minus trans adapter) will be built in house and documented. Stay tuned for more.

also being built in house will be a long arm susension using ballistic fabrication coil over shocks

What filler metal did you use on the exhaust manifold ?
