Should i take my WM300 to a machine shop?

I have the front clip removed on My WM300. I have all the bolts removed from the intake and exhaust manifold except two. I cant grind the last two off the exhaust manifold because the intake is in the way which is rusted together at the heat riser intake area. Im scared to mess something up since parts for the 251 motors are so hard to come by. Should i just take it to my machinist and let him deal with it. I want to redo the intake and exhaust gaskets. The last two bolts are really in there with corroded heads. I plan to try heat and candle wax today. I don't know how to weld so welding a nut on really isnt a option for me. It might be better for my machinist to do it because i may grind a hole in the exhaust manifold or something. What do yall think?
