      I agree with Mathius, I have seen a fella (on my intake) use a spool gun and build up where the idiot porting it got all out of shape and trashed the intake.
      As for a good priced TIG check out Thermadyne, they have one called Dragster 85 its a scratch TIG and a stick welder. I am bringing one home when taxes come in. As for MIG I have my Astro Pneumatic 110 Mig and I can lay down some pretty good welds with gas or flux core.
      I got to help hang some quarters for a friend after he got the Dragster 85 and we hung one with almost no filler rod. i fit the quarter for like 3 days and had it very smooth and when it drew up (what little it did ) it was perfect. I practiced on razor blades (this was fun as i wound up taking all of the practice ones and made his daughter a razorblade picture frame (she was way into punk rock stuff for a while and a good friend).
      It is a scratch TIG which takes a little getting used too and I would have prefered to learn on a large r model with a pedal butthose are very expensive and the $350 price tag is very inviting. And we swapped out parts and I built up the NOS ports and tacked injector bungs for him, didnt have enough rod to do the welding of the bungs so he took it to work and had them finish it, and they comented on how clean my tacks were.http://www.thermadyne.com/evolution/...=98&pdtnbr=553
      Here is the welder link.
      Good Luck
