spray it with some PB Blaster or some other penetrating oil ...and let it sit for a while ...do it several times if you have to ...it worked for me on original manifold bolts on my '71
my fear is i over tightened it though. i was in a pinch and put the x-pipe on with no gasket. i finally got a gasket and its hard as hell to get off.Steve777 said:

hmm ...no gasket is definetly not good ...I would still say try the penetrating oil ...can't hurt
PJ1 makes some great penetrating lubricants that I have used on stubborn aluminum motorcycle applications. I would not recommend heat, due to the expansive qualities existing in the manifold already--you will only treat it as normal expansion.
bad news...
i picked up a 10" 1/2" extension and a 6pt socket...i tried so hard it broke the 1/2" swivel. i've been soaking it with PB. nothing works.
should i try it when the motor is cold??????

only two things you can do... 1. is too try and let it soak in pb... the other is too go out and buy a MAPP gas torch.. .you may have a hard time tring too get it in there too heat the bolt but thats your only option without a real torch set
