removing 390 manifold
OK, This apparently is the hardest manifold I have ever removed. I got all the bolts out and still can not get it off.. Did a search, but I guess no one else has had such a simple problem. I removed the rods and Is there anything else holding it together after the bolts are removed. I am gonna pull the heads off and havng a hard time. I am frustrated...anything would be helpful...
Thanks in advance...

First, how many bolts on each side did you remove? There should be 4, the back two are lower and behind. I had to actually pry mine loose, also it is very heavy, approximately 85# so it isn't going to just "come loose".

I have had a few in the bone yard be seriously stuck on there. Be sure there are no more bolts left. I have then used a flat chisel between the head and intake to get it to pop free on one side.
I gotta ask, the dizzy is removed right ?
