[T3] exhaust nuts and studs

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Hi All

I just took the engine out of the 73 square I bought last sat so I can put
it in my 71 fasty. I noticed that the muffler has been changed to one of
those half header systems that still use the heater boxes. The Heater boxes
are rusted through. Since my old motor d a good T3 muffler and new heater
boxes I decided to change them. I am affraid to try at the nuts/studs
because they are rusted badly. Is their a secret to not let the studs break
or to get them out easily? I have heard to apply heat but I am not sure if I
apply heat to the stud or the aluminum head, or how much heat to apply. An
how do I get out a broken stud when one does break?  I do not want to
dismantle this engine I just want a running car.

Thanks

Joe
