First things first,and no I'm not being an azzhalf.How did you get that far into a job like that,that left you in this position?The answer might help others decided if they wanna try this or not.In my useless mind there are 2 fixes.If it is your pride and joy and you would not comprimise your sweetie,head off!If it's just your beater,JB weld the bolt in with a damn good manifold in place,BlockSeal it( gunk product) and you should be good to go.Not gonna bash you or demean you but this is case in point for biting off more than you chew.
