Exhaust manifold removal

[kpoly]

Trying to remove my exhaust manifold, have all the bolts off, but still it is only budging a little. Are there any tips to getting these things off? Thanks.

1989 OMC Ford 351 with the log style exhaust manifolds. Lucky me, I have twin engines so this is just the beginning.

You have the risers off?

Risers are off and that went pretty easy. Bolts came off manifold without much problem. There are 5 nuts and 3 bolts that came off, so there should be nothing else hanging it up but rust and grime.
