not to throw a wrench in but have you checked for a new adapter plate yet? i need one for my 92 Johnson 225 and no longer avail. plus the cost new was like $600+ so it's not worth it.

Success! I used the burs to grind of the bolts closer than I could get with the drill. Finally, a little daylight...
 The powerhead was still stuck and with no place to pry I came up with a jackscrew jury rig using a 1/4" extension and one of the powerhead bolts. Backing out the bolt forced the powerhead up...  Old hole below, new hole above. Really needed to get this close...  Free at last, free at last...  Bolt was literally cemented into the hole...  Hopefully the worst is over. Now to find a replacement adapter. As a last resort I think it might be possible to salvage this one. I'm trying to decide if I want to make this a winter project and pull the rest of the motor off and do paint and whatnot. Thanks everybody for the help and advice. It is appreciated!

thanks for asking but no i gave up i do still have the motor but i just bought another motor. kept the power head as a spare. good luck with yours and glad it's apart but the hard part is still to come getting off that adapter plate will be even harder.

 I spent Saturday afternoon pulling the motor off of the boat in pieces. It was cold and windy but I now have everything in my garage where the kerosene heater at least makes it comfortable...  I tore everything below the powerhead apart and found a broken motor mount...  and a broken tuner...  I found someone online who has a used exhaust adapter and some other parts, waiting to hear back with a price. Here are a couple of pictures of the shift rod that started the whole project...   It may have lasted another season or two or it might have outlasted the motor but the omen of the thing breaking was more than I wanted to deal with. I'm going to try to repaint everything and hopefully have it all fresh n' minty for spring.
