Lower intake bolt problem

In the process of getting to the heads on my 93 f150 with a 302. The problem is the front 2 lower intake manifold bolts. The bolts were kinda tough to break free but now all they do is spin and are not backing out of the holes. Have you guys ever experienced this before? I'm not new to the 302 as I've put an u/l intake on my '86 mustang gt. Would you guys say screw it and cut the bolt heads off? Or am I missing something? Thanks

Sounds like there is just a lot of rust/gunk on them. Did you try pulling/twisting on them with vise grips while someone else pries up on them with a screwdriver or prybar?

mine did exactly the same thing...my front to bolts broke, try pulling them out with vice grips, you should still be able to get ur intake off and extract the bolts off your block later
