Just curious as this is something I'm looking at doing with my 77 S. Many have said to look at SSI's or old SC exchangers. Just wondering what you're doing?

Let me know if this is the case.

Yep. from heat exchangers to stainless steel headers. Don’t need heat here in Alabama.
Plus I feel like heat exchangers restrict flow too much. I also like how much more room there is to work without the bulky exchangers.
I’m also excited to hear the difference when I’m done

I was able to get them off with no issues. 0 broken studs. 3 studs came out with the bolt (no big deal). Going to replace them just to be safe.
I used a mapp torch (yellow one). Got each nut red hot, tighten until the nut barely moves, then proceed to back it out. Made some scary noises but it was fine.
