$500 each? They are listing way over $1000 for one, and around $700 or so for the other.
I sold my used set of manifolds on eBay for $400 - no questions asked - in my eBay store, with best-offer turned on. No offer, just bought them for $400...
Well, I am just going by what I was told. At any rate, I don't think I would be buying them anyway. I would get the headers.

Wasn't trying to make it out that you were wrong, just added some additional information

Ok. I got 8 of the 10 studs out on the passenger side. I broke an easy out on one of them and drilled out the other one but the hole was a little crooked. So, What to do? Take the head off? Send it to a machine shop? I have never removed a head before.
I am mechanical. Very. Tons of tools.
Can I drill around the easy out and try to get it out and just use a larger helicoil? Or should I give it to a pro and let him do it?
I have pictures, but I dont think I am high enough in the post count to post pictures.
ANd trying to find Images on google of a v-10 head isnt coming up with alot of pics.
Helli-coil! Removing that head would be a lot of work. I just started my truck up today after putting these headers on. The headers and the studs are a pain in the butt to install. My Y pipe needed bent also. I got the pipe bent up to both headers without removing it. Then I heated the pipes RED with a torch near the bends while it was running.

Mike, get a harder drill. I use straight flute solid carbide "High Roc" endmills to drill hardened steel. I've drilled through 68Rc (Harder than a cobalt drill bit) with these drills many times. Carbide is around 82Rc so it is superhard and will cut through hardened steel no problem. Only thing is carbide is brittle. You should have a pilot drill and a final drill. These drill have a 140deg angle on them and when they get chipped or dull I sharpen them on my drill doctor and back cut them. Sharpening them saves tons of time and money and the drill doctor is a decent unit for the money. Heres a link to the drills. McMaster-Carr (On page 2404 at the top of page)

Thats correct. Rc is the hardest on the Rockwell scale, theres also Rockwell A and Rockwell B. Theres many different hardness systems out there, Brinnell being one of the most popular. I know Rc the best because thats what I use most often.
Little background on me...... 7 years in schooling as a Mechanical Engineer. It's been a while, but rockwell I remember. and brinell. I dont think I need to get out my material science book though, or do i?
Cool... just remember, some people reading this don't know all that

Do I use a drill guide? I could make a jig that attaches the new stud that is right next to it and use a rectangular piece of aluminum with a drill jig, and make sure that the drill bit goes into the new hole straight? It says that the drill bit should not have any give or tolerance when drilling. Thats why I suggest making a jig to make sure the drill goes in correctly.
So with Mcmaster Carr, should I use a 5/16th drill bit or one smaller? If I need a starter drill, what size starter drill should I use?
Should it be 1/4 or maybe 7/32nds or smaller? The starter drill bit.
These drill bits are not cheap. $68.75 for a drill bit?

My truck has been sitting at my parents house for a few weeks and everytime I see my father he is like, Mike, whats up with the truck?
I should put some plywood under the jackstands cause the jackstands are starting to make imprints into the driveway.
How difficult is it to remove the inner fender well liners? I was looking at mine today and there appears to be a number of bolts around the wheel well and also some around the inside. I am going to be taking it to the exhaust shop this coming Monday and want to be able to let the mechanic know what to do to make his life easier. I have some nice printed pics of your truck with the liners removed that I am going to show him. I am really hoping that this isn't going to be a huge endeavor.
