I've made a decision. I'm going to try to C clamp the header tube as close to the oil pan as possible. Hopefully this will give a little clearance so I can get a tire spoon (like the one shown) in there and beet the **** out of it with a hammer. If I damage the oil pan oh well, it was going to have to be modified anyway. If not, it might work and I win!
Am I crazy or not?
