Now all you need to do is pull the heads off, to get a decent shot at drilling those broken bolts out.
BTW that is either a '63 or 64 engine judging by the aluminum front timing gear cover.

That would be something, never was told a engine was swapped out.

I never had that good of luck fooling with exhaust bolts.

The basic 394 engine is the same 61-64. To make sure you still have a Starfire engine see if the engine number has the S suffix. It should be stamped above center exhaust port on the left head. Course a 4-barrel SkyRocket from a Super 88 or Ninety Eight still packs a 330-horse wallop.
