I have an exhaust manifold leak with the RAIII repro's on a '73 400 block 4X heads. Since I also have to replace intake manifold gaskets and the valley pan bolt grommets, will the heads remove with the RAIII's still attached?

should have put antiseize on the bolts when first installed. Easier to remove later.

I,ve done it more then once... Very heavy.
Better off have a friend lean over the bumper while you take the fender side for control. You don,t want that falling on your fender

They should come off just fine but they'll be REAL heavy!

Yes I figured that, but it may be better than pulling the whole engine out. I tried lifting the block on one side but still could not get leverage on some of the RAIII bolts.
