The heater box prohibits R&R of the rear most head bolt that paasses thru the rear most rocker shaft perch.

My advice to use a cherry picker, small block and tackle or prefer a differential hoist. Of course that means removal of the hood.
The head weighs 70 pounds BARE. Probably about 85 pounds fully dressed.
