Got all the headbolts off but for some reason the head is stuck to the block - any tricks for getting it off?
Tryin to look around for brackets i'd miss but i can't find anything that would keep it on!Comment

use a wooden handle to break it loose, if your thinking that it's just going to come of with your hands, it will need some help but make sure you have removed all fasteners. Good luck.An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.Comment

There is a hidden bracket in the back near the firewall as well.

I have always reused the head bolts with zero issues.

currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.
