Really dreading it, just ordered the parts and picking them up today (new manifold, gasket, and hardware) Going to soak all the studs and nuts in PB Blaster all week and get my hands on an acetylene torch to heat them jewels up when tackling it. Thanks to the site for all the help and recommendations on how to tackle this turd of a job!

 

Luck

 

Good luck man! Ya got bigger stones and smaller arms/hands than me!

 

good luck! im sure you will have better luck than i will when i need to do mine...

 

Sounds like a good reason to do long tube headers! But good luck!

 

Or at least shorties. I wouldn't put an OEM manifold back in.
