Where around here to get aluminum welded?
I'm finally getting money to spend on engine parts so I can try to get this LT1 head/intake conversion done. Been spending money on brakes and suspension lately, but now I'm going to get that head project in motion again.
So I need to get some aluminum plugs welded into the heads..anyone here know of a place that will do that?

There's a guy in NWI, that owns a company called AlumiFab. I imagine he could prolly do it, since all he works with is alumimum fabrication. I had his business card, but I lost it. I'll shoot you the contact info if you want, once I make a few calls for that info.

Cool, let me know. I don't mind driving an hour and a half or so if I'm going to get someone that has a lot of experience (and I'd assume he does if the company is "AlumiFab")

Sorry it took me so long, but the number for Alumifab:
219-770-0236. The website is www.alumifab.com
The card says they make custom aluminum components for import cars, but he's done other things for trucks and stuff too. I don't see why he couldn't do it.
