Question frame head swap

i am swaping my 70 frame head to a super wondering how i am going to get a frame head off a car at the junk yard without power tools i know i will be cutting mine off at home with a sawzall and welding on the new but how else can i get the super off at the junkyard ?? can i unbolt it from the 4 bolts under the car and pry it off ??? or just bring a hacksaw lots of blades and even more time ???

has anyone else done this i have only seen one other person doing this swap in a 55 oval just wondering if anyone else has done it and has pics of how

why not start with a new Frame head.
They are not very expensive.
I believe you can order a Super Frame head thru
the real source for around $100.
