On Sunday I decided to replace the exhaust manifold gaskets on my 440...........well it is not as easy as I thought it would be o[. So I need to unbolt the exhaust manifold flanges (as I was planning to do) then unbolt the engine mounts, and lift the engine up just enough to get at the ex-manifold bolts. Now I was thinking what if I drilled some holes in the inner fender to access the bolts from there, unstead of raising the engine? Now The engine compartment already needs a repaint because the ex-manifold on the passenger side got so hot a few months back that it blistered the paint and made it peel, So drilling a hole and then putting a plastic plug to keep the road grime out of the engine compartment wouldn't be a big deal, also this is an original /6 67 GT cloned into a 69 GTS. Would I still beable to remove the stock ex-manifolds if I did this or would I still need to raise the engine?
Thanks for the opinions and information in advance.
