I am in the process of cleaning and painting parts as I prepare to reinstall my rebuilt head. I don't think the intake and exhaust manifolds have been separated for 56 years. Has anyone taken these apart and if so, how many broken studs/ bolts were there, if any? I am especially concerned with the two bolts. The nuts look like the gas wrench will work easily. The bolts appear to thread into the intake manifold body.












Well, my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55.
As I pulled away slowly,
Feelin' so holy,
God knows, I was feelin' alive..... Tom Waits, Ol' 55
