manifolds!!!

My 2004 ford 3v 5.4 has a major manifold leak on start up, As soon as it warms up it goes away, I looked at the manifold and can see a missing bolt ( prolly broken in the casting) also I was wondering how much work it is too pull the manifolds off and change the gaskets the bolts look extra rusty. I was also thinkink that if I am doing all that work I might as well change the manifolds and put shorty headers on. any out there have any recomendations, if so any shorty header thats just a direct bolt in??
