How do i remove this bolt
It is an intake on 302 and I can't figure out what kind of head it is or how to remove. All the rest were just regular bolts that cam out easy. I have pics and need help getting it off. Thanks

It is a pain in the *** to get to yes. We didn't have anything long or skinny enough to reach it. What we did was Lift up on the upper intake, and turn it so that it would loosen that bolt. Doing this we were able to loosen it up enough to unscrew it by hand.

If you don't have a 1/4" torx bit you can use a 3/8". You just have to put the bit on the bolt from under the runners and push an extension into it from above. It is a torx for sure though, not a hex.
I used a bunch of Jerry rigged crap to get to it, just removed it again today and found the Jerry rigged extender deal in my toolbox. It was a torx bit, in a socket that it perfectly fit into, and a 1/4" drive extension, a reducer to 3/8s drive, a toaster oven, three towels, and a spare tire. Came off pretty easy. Hahaha
I want to replace it with a real bolt if possible. Not a freak, like it is currently... I called it that when I removed it too. Hope it feels bad now.
