Hello. I was wondering if anyone has put together a tutorial on a head gasket replacement for a 1st gen pushrod. I have taken my upper half apart down to the fuel injectors before. Would I only need to take the lower intake manifold after that? :us:

Lower intake and exhaust manifolds for sure, and anything else you may need to remove for clearance.
 






No, you also need to remove the AC compressor, Power Steering pump and Alternator as they are attached to the heads. Nothing serious as you can removed them with minimal fuss and set them aside...well, I don't know for sure about the AC Compressor since I don't have one.
