[Shop-talk] Adding a tube into aluminum manifold

[Darrell Walker via Shop-talk <shop-talk@autox.team.net>]

Iâ??m adapting a Land Rover intake manifold for use on my TR8.  One thing I 
need to do is add a connection from the manifold to feed the heater.  There is 
a place on the manifold that will work perfectly.

My initial plan was to tap the manifold for a copper fitting.  But will there 
be an issue with copper threaded into aluminum?

If the copper is a bad idea, I could use an aluminum tube, but how to connect 
it?  I might be able to find someone to TIG weld it.  Or I could try JB Weld, 
or there are some products to solder aluminum together.
