Angry '74 280C Head Stuck!

I am taking the head off to replace a blown head gasket (between #5 and #6). No comments on my sanity. Everything removed per the manual and I just removed the 14 head bolts but the head won't budge.
Any suggestions on where to apply force?
Thanks in advance, Ed

74 Head Stcuk

Yup. Took them out but still stuck. My floor jack is now pushing up on the right side camshaft housing and lifting the engine ~ 2". I'll let it sit over night. Thanks for the tip.

Could it be the bolt on the side for the distributor?

The distributor housing has a bolt that goes thru the corner of the head at that inside corner as I recall.

There's also another bolt on the outside of the timing chain cavity where a ground strap is usually connected.
