Get a spud bar & a mattock.  Mark (roughly) where you want the holes & start swinging.   :D :D

        The headers are off the shelf CRS supplied that i also got coated at jet hot coatings in vic who have coated them inside & out & guaranteed them for life not to rust or discolour.
Col
     Its just a matter of trial & error when cutting the holes but you need to allow enough room to be able remove the headers without having to move the engine.
