My mechanic broke a header bolt inside my aluminum head on my ZZ454 so my header has a exhaust leak because its missing a header bolt .

I wanted to know is it hard to remove a head of my engine , And what do i need to take off first , holley carb ?


When the head is off GM will remove the broken bolt.

Where do I post parts for sale?  I have a set of BBC 32 valve "THUNDER POWER" heads that I have to part with currently on ebay (item#160372793430).  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
