Hey, I can't get the head off of my 65 coupe. just wondering what could be causing it. I have removed all the bolts holding it to the block. Thanks

 

Give it a good whack with a dead blow hammer or rubber mallet. But re-check yourself first, to make sure you got ALL of the bolts, Im sure theres a couple of hidden ones.
-P.

 

Did you remove the rocker arm shaft assembly?

 

yeah there is nothing left attached to it but the exhaust manifold. It's rusty though and the bolts are hard to reach but it doesnt seem that it is what is holding the head on there. ive tried wedging a prybar underneath but just havent been able to get it under. i dont really care what happens to the head cuz a 302's goin in so any ideas would be great. Ill just try to hit it a lot with a hammer.


Thanks

 

Use a rubber mallet, and wail the **** out of it. Remembe you can always sell those parts to restorers or enthusiasts.
-P.

 

i would double check that u got all of the bolts off and if u do i would hit the intake from the bottom up with a rubber or dead blow hammer/mallet and then just wail on it from side to side and if nothing lets go id say u for got to take somthing off

just a question u did take the bolts that r right next to the intake manifold off right not just the ones under the valve cover cause if u did forget these u need to take them off cause the intake and head r integrated or in other words one piece

 

yup all i see are holes on the intake/head. i'll try it tomorrow when i can. gotta find rubber mallet

thanks for the help

 

Why are you taking off the heads on that 6 banger if you are replacing it with a V8? Just pull the whole friggin engine and tranny at the same time.

 

havent gotten around to getting an engine hoist...something i definitely need to do though. good point hah

I'm in the process of building a multi carb I6 and am looking for the adjustable accelerator rod that goes between the carb arm and the accelerator arm. It's a piece about 3 1/2 inches long. the attached picture is one of several variation I have seen it produced. If you have one and want to sell it, let me know
