I tried to pull the stock exhaust manifold off with the engine in but couldn't get it. I didn't try removing the studs though but either way it is going to be a PITA. Since I am putting my new engine in soon I will be installing the 4 into 1 tube header which came off the donor car. Instead of a coating I am going to wrap the header with header wrap.
