So I'm doing gaskets, stuck on my intake manifold. I removed the 12 bolts attaching it to the engine itself, but I read there are some bolts that need to be removed that attach it to the exhaust manifold, not sure which bolts these are though. If someone can help me and let me know what else I need to remove before I can get this off that'd be great.
 
You're posting in the "Small block " forum, so I'll assume thats what you're working on. There are no bolts holding the intake to the exhaust. What's holding it down is probably some gasket sealer, usually applied to the coolant crossover ports. If you're sure you have ALL the bolts out of the intake, try prying GENTLY under the front rail just behind the timing cover. The intake should come off.

PS...make sure the valve covers aren't overhanging intake at all.

Just my thoughts.....
