Intake manifold help

Hey guys is there any good ways to take off the intake manifold on a 93 302. I got all the bolts off that are on the outside of the manifold but there is one on the inside and I cant get to it to save my life. It doesnt look like a socket bolt. Maybe I need a special tool or something to get in there? I dont know, but anyways any help would be appreciated.

It's not all that "special". It's just a T40. You can get them at most hardware & home improvement stores, as well as any parts store for a few bucks each or ~$40 for a big set. The plenum casting is VERY tight down there, so you can either spend some extra $ to get a longer bit, or you can just grind/file some of the aluminum away so your cheaper regular driver fits.
