Sidepipe holes are cut out all went well. I cut them about 3/8 in small and put the headers in- they are pretty good. I will trim them up and we are ready. The templetes fit different from one side to the other.

I thought you were going to break the engine in before you put it in the car. Did I miss that thread? |

Also, did you take out the inner fender panels before the install or did you just drop in there?

ng- I started with the Kirkham templets I got online at their website. Cut the rough opening out with an air powered die grinder. Finished off with an air powered rotary file with a 1/2 dia burr. Did a little hand filing pretty easy actually. I made both sides look the same by hand feeling- sort of like artwork.
RodKnock, I took the driversdied inner fender out left the passenger side. Id would be easier to take them all out but not enough easier to me to R & R the passenger fender. If I wasn't needing to do all the plumbing on drivers side I would have left it too.
Ron come on up- Car is at one of the funner stages. How many miles do you have on that thing now?
