About three whacks with the impact driver and this is the result 
anyone know any other tricks I could use to loosen up the bolts? I was thinking maybe blowtorch?
this one's for you Headsmess, see the stingy buggers had a bracket for the lighting coil but left it emtpy

that would just strip the head,
I was thinking maybe drill out and tap the bolt hole but that's a last resort

didnt think u were meant to do the bolts in the motor,, cuz they could get into the oil,, but i could be wrong on that
and drill and tap new thread
could try to grab onto it with something and turn it,, like vicegrips

we used to do this with striped bolts..get the nail punch sharpen it on the grinder get your hammer and smack away, put it in the groove though or you can make a mess of things..

I don't get it, what does that achieve? is it so you can drill it easier?

if it has locktight on it if you heat it up the locktight will not hold when its hot. then it will be easyer. thats why exhast bolts are always a nightmare
