Although I have not seen your particular application, I
assume by your question that your manifolds won't slide off the studs
enough to pull the gasket off, or put a new one on. We had a tight fit on a friend's 440 'Cuda. To change the
gaskets, we slotted the lower half of the gasket's bolt holes, and slipped
them straight down over the studs. To remove the old ones, we clipped
slots in the bolt holes with a pair of thin wire cutters. They did not
leak.
Not sure if that will work for you, but worth a
try.
