you can always weld a nut to the broken bolt and take it out with a wrench instead of risking destroying the threads by drilling it out.

WOW, 8 broken manifold bolts... Don't think I ever broke a bolt on my old 360, of course it was only ten years old at the time. Not that I have broken any bolts, but 8...I hate drilling them out, royal pain. Glad your almost done. Try not to break any more.....
