Can you the brazing method where you use a torch and brazing material to install injector bungs. I have a lincoln 225ac stick welder but I hear that its next to impossible to weld injector bungs. I don't have a tig and like to avoid paying a machine shop cause it'd be expensive to install 8 bungs into a victor jr. manifold. If anyone has a idea please let me know. The next best idea I had was to use lab metal which is a stronger version of jb weld. I'd be afraid to use that method though because there will be a lot of boost pressure coming from my turbos and I definetely don't want a bung popping out. Thanks

Damn the only shop in my area wants 550 to do it or 300 if I have it ready where they just have to do the welding part. Guess I'll have to toss out my jr. victor and buy one that comes with bungs already. Oh well I'll just buy one since the machine shop prices are crazy high

Why dont you just sell off the intake you have and buy one that already has the bungs in it from edelbrock? Pretty sure they are alot cheaper then $550

They're going to charge $550 to TIG 8 injector bungs on? Are they at least offering to use lube with that ass raping?

Yeah they were gonna use ky jelly But seriously they were out of their f##k#ng mind I'd never pay that. Theres a manifold on ebay that looks like a jr. victor with bungs in it I'll get cause its only 300 bucks. Its a hurricane manifold and I think its in jegs too. I'll just keep the victor jr. I already got and use it for my 351w carb for my 85 f150.
