I finally got down to the bolts on my 454 Suburban's lower intake manifold. I've removed 6 bolts from the passenger side and 5 from the driver's side -- the Chilton's manual makes it look like there should be 6 on both sides but I can't find any more, and the "extra" one on the passenger side seems to be there so that there can be a bolt on each side of a heater fitting.
Either I'm missing a bolt that's still in there, or the existing gasket + RTV is just really holding the manifold on there. Any tips for pulling the manifold off these engines? I don't see anything I'd really like to pry against...
