Take a hack saw blade & cut it from the inside. Go slow. You can do it.

So what if it takes 1 hr. No damage to your intake. Probably 3 cuts and it will come out in sections.
You may want to find a tap to tune up threads afterwards.
I narrowed a blade for my recip so it would fit inside. Go slow.
Die grinder will work too,you can see the points of the threads as you grind away the steel. Again, take your time.

I wonder if a body saw would work?

i didnt have to use the cut and chisel method. just some penetrating oil let is soak for a few hours. applied a little heat and it came right out. if it gave a lot of resistance then i would have chiseled it out

It doesn't matter how long procedure takes this intake is in exceptionally good condition and im privileged to own it for its vintage patina and will preserve it
Use it etc until the next lucky
Mopar freak owns it.

When done, install a brass fitting, and it will never get stuck in there again. Brass and aluminum work better together.

Galvanized isnt good for anything

The intake has alot of area to be removed for port matching with these gaskets.
