I will probably catch some "heat" for this but you could always try:
Blue Magic
If used right it's supposed to seal cracks and gaps and keep them sealed. MAY be better to use and see if it works before a huge job.
Sure worth $10 to try. I tried "Victor (gasket company) Muffler Mender" with no joy. The Blue stuff might work awhile. I'd be afraid the expansion/contraction would do it in.
An OP here, DaHose, wanted to put Headers on his old Class C. What Jose did, was destroy the manifolds in place. Cutoff Wheel, Die Grinder, Chisel, etc. This left the fasteners completely exposed for removal efforts, and he got them all out. Expensive to trash a set of manifolds, but any "parts cost" will be less than pulling the head(s).
Dealer might have had a hard time handling that 460 Intake Manifold. My Haynes manual suggests lifting it with a Hoist.
