try a pm to Marky Mark or Mutant cav on here. Both are breakers, mostly v engines though i think. Worth a try.
I would also get some advice on getting studs out as well. The bolts have a habit of shearing off, or maybe worry about that if it happens.

The 4 pot ecotecs are well known for snapping manifold studs, When I had my old car done the heated the studs before removing, and thankfully they all came out.
