i did the smart thing and took the manifolds off and ported the collector lip.
ok I'm doing the head gaskets and got the car down just to the heads but cant figure out what would be the best way to get the exhaust manifolds out of the way to get the bottom 4 head bolts. could someone tell me what they did to get them out of the way please.
I used big pry bars. Two of them. It was interesting.
PB Blaster works well on the manifold studs.
