quick question guys:

i been trying to get these headers off. and one is seized in there so i was gonna just break the bolt off into the head since i have new heads anyways. but its stripped out now.. how can i get this bolt outta the way without ruining the headers. could i just pull the motor out with the headers?
 
motor is 99.9 percent outta the car.... somebody had to go eat dinner so we couldnt pull it out... but all i need is my cam and rebuild kit and shes good to go together.... plus a bunch of misc shit. but other than that dont look like it will be that long... i will post pics tommorrow with no motor.. lol
