I would definitely recommend removing the intake manifold for a couple of good reasons... First is that the end seals will almost certainly be damaged if you try to leave it in place. Not while taking it apart, but while trying to wiggle a head back into place while there is nothing but gravity holding the manifold in place. Just about guaranteed to move. Second is gasket and seal integrity. Back when those engines were popular, it was a well known flat-rate trick to pull ONE head without pulling the intake. The tricky part was getting the head, intake gasket, and head gasket all lined up without damaging one of them. It could be done, but it was tricky. I did a few that way. I'm not sure that in the long run it saved anything. Overall, to maintain the integrity of the new gaskets and to make sure that everything is lined up right, pulling the manifold is the wiser course of action. There were a few other flat-rate tricks that were used back in the day, but most were risky and didn't really save much.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
