Is there a templete as to where to open them up? It'd be nice to cut it out before painting. Fenderwells limit tire clearance, but on a limited use car they sure do make for easy access to the starter, etc.
 
Don't know of any template. Just don't follow the Hookers directions as they will have you cut half of your car apart. I found the center of the area that needed cut out and kept enlarging the hole till the headers passed threw and bolted up.

Thanks, Twisted-72. I didn't realize the Hooker's had directions like that. I guess the best way is to put the block and heads in the car and fit them from there.
 
my hooker super comps clear my front tires at full lock of the steering (right & left)

I should have been clearer, TonyGTS. You're right, smaller diameter tires clear the headers (though I think they still rub on bumps). I like to use as tall a front tire as possible to increase rollout at the track.
