Manifold Modifications/V-Bands

everyone said to do the merge first and then work the way up to the manifolds for the hotside. doin that i am nearing the manifolds. i opted to go with V-bands to connect the manifold to the hotside.

first does any one have a pic of the manifold cut and ready to have the V-band welded on ? only pics i can find are ones with the welds already done, im lookin to figure out were to cut it for best results.

also for welding ive read a lot of people heat up the cast manifold befor welding? is it really at that much of a risk of cracking ? i just planned on tacking them on there with the mig and then letting my pops do his thing and lay some coin with the tig.

welded inside and out i presume also?
