I have started my first solo rebuild on a big block 396 that used to
belong to my Dad. So far the heads are refusing to come off. I don't
want to get too rough with them for fear of damaging the gasket surfaces
or cracking them.

I tried a pry bar but it seemed to hold so well I know would have
damaged it before it gave up. I have also tried using a length 2x4 for
some leverage, wedging it under one head and one top of the other which,
didn't seem to do anything.

Any tips?
Thanks.
Jake

Seems like you may have missed getting all the bolts out,clean it up
good see if you missed one.

Good Lord there are a lot of bolts in that thing. That was it. What a
rookie mistake. Thanks.

Did you remove the exhaust manifolds?

There are 4 bolts under them, and the top end bolts are lower than the bolts
from the center.
