Over the holiday break, I've been working in my garage - removing the 360 engine in my 1970 Duster. At this point in the process, I'm attempting to remove the headers from the engine. However, there and two bolts on the right hand side that are in contact with the header tubing. I have not started on the left hand side yet, but looks like a similar condition. Just wanted to see if anyone has dealt with this condition and what steps you took to resolve. After spending some time on it, I thought about bring out a cutting device. However, I wanted to seek assistance from the Mopar Forum before moving forward. Below is a pic of the front of the right header. There is a similar condition at the rear port of the header too (and LHS too).

Thank you in advance for your assistance and Happy Holidays!!!
