Early Abody Doug’s 450 header install BEFORE engine going in

would it be a good idea to go ahead and cut the headers flanges before putting them on the first time?

Hey JD. I cut mine before installing. I'm not sure the drivers side could be installed without cutting. Man, it's tight in there, especially with a dual master cylinder and power steering.

Here's my driver's side when I still had the Commando valve covers. Sure wish I would have kept them!!
