I'll either be in the Can Am or in my "new" lowered two-tone brown '94 GMC. I won't be rolling out until after 7am, which will put me there after 8am.

If the transmission is not sitting on it and you have all 4 bolts that mount it to the frame (two on each side) removed, it should come loose. Try budging it with a rubber mallet.

Personally, I'd stick with the 140 heads you have right now. They're pump gas friendly (92 octane) and flow comparable to any 6X when coupled with the small bore of a 326.
