Don't sweat that! Cut the bolt as close to manifold as possible, then use vise grips or stud removal tool - it will come right out of the head.
The bolts seize in the manifold. They come out with help of our friends oxy-acetylene, the punch and hammer. Be sure to use high temp antiseize liberally in this area when you put it back together.
I did this for a friend last year. He came back with green paint and I was like are you sure??? But it turned out nice!!

Thanks! I cut it and got it right out. That looks sick! I dig the black with green.
I just found out my boss is giving me the week off after Christmas so I should have it all back together and in. (I'm hoping)
Should I replace the lifters? I have everything already but I totally forgot about them :/
Rotating parts should always be balanced. So if the old parts were balanced stock, the 30 over pistons should be matched to. Have it done or get a scale and do it your self with pins and rings,.

I've been researching balancing Pistons. Everything I found says to remove metal to match weight. What if my new Pistons are lighter than my stock ones? The new ones are 3-8 grams lighter than my stock ones.
