<VV> Concern on head removal

[J R Read]

It CAN be done, but is trickier than on a car.  Frame rail gets in the way. 
Have to lower engine more than on a car.  You might have to pull at least 
the long carb stud (maybe both? - don't recall just now.  IIRC there is 
opening in the vertical wall of the body below the frame rail which will 
give you some room to jockey things around.  The rampy is not at home just 
now, so can't go look at that.
