Can't get my intake manifold off! 4.6 V8 w/pics

I've never worked on the 4.6 engine but since the intake manifold has a neoprene gasket, I can't imagine it could be stuck that hard. I would look for more fasteners before prying too hard. That plastic is tough but also very brittle.

I've searched and searched for anything else possibly holding it down. Its like it won't even budge. The way it's so snug I would think it's glued down.

That neoprene gasket may have cooked on. Maybe you can carefully pry it loose. Not all at one time and not all in one spot. If anything breaks off, try to keep it from falling into the intake.

two bolts under the fuel rail crossover tube. You have to pull the rails.
