Also once your putting it together drop in engine then install starter wire it then the manifold works great.
Since they've never been off before, the manifold bolts are the issue, I can see them breaking off if I try to remove them in the car. I need to pull the engine for a reseal and paint and would like to have plenty of room to work on the manifold bolts. I'm going to try and do this in the next few months, I'll post the results. Thanks!
