how do I get this out??

You most certainly CAN see into the lifter valley. Remove the valve covers. Look through the huge holes beside intake ports.

No, if you can verify it is in the pan, I don't think it would hurt anything. But what did it do on the way down? Removing the intake is pretty simple if you cannot see it through the heads. 20 minutes at best.

Rusty taking the manifold off as you say us not a big deal I agree there. My concern with that is with the tradewinds manifold, actually its a stage 3 from summit, I know its an airgap knock off, I have do you think I might have an issue getting it to reseal?? Any suggestions on that,like what gaskets do you like to use..
