Removeing the intake manifold

[ruzztec]

I unscrewed 12 bolts that look like thats all that hold the intake manifold. The Carb and water thingy are still atatched. I tried pulling the manifold off and it didn't budge, I thought maybe the paint held it so I hooked up a winch and it lifted the whole engine and the manifold stayied on. Is thier more?

might be a good Idea you tell us what engine you have !<br />some have the old dizzy(distributor) going through them!

Yea, I removed the distrib , I got it , it was alot of paint, the prior owner painted it to cover that he got it really hot.

On my engine a 351W, I had to use a pry par to break it free. I used a scrap piece of a 2x4 and pryed on a corner of the manifold. A lot of times rtv is used to help seal, and it can be a pain to break free.
