Gary,
If all else fails, remove the head, then you can get to the bolts a lot easier.
That's a last resort, though - I have seen the manifolds removed with
thin-walled sockets and several "wiggly things" connected together.

Subject: removing 1500 manifolds
Advice needed! I am in the process of replacing my 80 Spit's manifolds
after the exhaust split returning from a show the first day of BCW. I have
all the upper nuts off, but cannot access the lower nuts with the tools I
have. A DPO replaced these nuts with long, about 1 inch, nuts like those
used to connect threaded rod. Does anyone know of a specific type of
wrench that will get over the exhaust and under the intake manifold to
reach these nuts?
TIA Gary Lied
