3.8 intakes are easy, exhaust manifolds can be a pain with rusty bolts, front manifold is easy, rear one can be a pain, take the front motor mounts to header panel off, and get a pull down and tilt the motor forward. that will make it easier to get the rear manifold.

I’ve also found it helpful to have the engine semi-warm when breaking old bolts loose.

i dont’ believe he said anywhere the engine was running? heat cycle them before you break them loose, get engine up to operating temp then shut it off…when it’s cool enough to handle and not get burned loosen them
