440, A body, schumacher headers.... Trying to take them off so I can remove the cylinder heads but I have no room to even pull the headers off the bolts. I figured a few guys around here must have dealt with this before so I was hoping someone could give me a tip.
Any tricks for removing headers?

Unbolt the mounts and use a hoist and chain to pull the engine off the mount .

Remove intake manifold.
Unbolt headers.
Unbolt each head.
The headers survive this way & by removing the intake, you have room to go 'in' as the heads are removed since there is no room with those headers to go 'out'.

If at first you don't succeed, read the instructions........................

Why?
Ah.......Are the lower row of head bolts under the headers?
DOH! I think I need more coffee.
Maybe the instructions are a bad idea............remove the rear axle and fuel tank, then use dynamite and tire tools.

this is an interesting thread for me to keep an eye on, i'm planning a 440 swap and i like the schumacher headers.
whats interesting to me is i know the headers get installed with the engine in the car, so how can they not come off with the engine in the car?
