Intake Stuck

[tk1218]

Taking the intake off to clean and repaint.

Have all the screws out and it will not budge. Any suggestions on how to get it un-stuck?

Prybar down the carb opening and turn it over.
Just double check all the screws are out.

I'm assuming that your doing this while the engine is mounted? I did the same, cut up my knuckles bad, its hard to get off, but I did the same as suggested. Came loose.

Count The Bolts

Some one on here can tell you how may bolts there are in the intake ...or I GUESS you can count the holes in the intake ...If their dirty I HAVE FOUND SOME AFTER 30 min. of work...

Set your purse down and snatch on the intake.

There are 6 down each side 1 1 2 1 1 There are two beside the carb on each side. If this helps any.

Most are 12 bolt intakes. But some early 351 are 16 bolt intakes.

Got it off, just required patience, which I am short on.

Got it cleaned up and repainted, looks good.
