I assume there is no threading sticking up out of the intake at all? If so try getting vice grips on it. Most of the time you drill the bolt and use a back out but being under the cowl like that not sure how you would do that. I wouldn't try it without being able to see if you are getting into the manifold with the drill bit. You might have to drop the motor to be able to back it out, I hope not? I have never ran into this but hopefully someone has and they have an easy fix. Sorry I am not much help. You might take a pic or two so people maybe can see what you are working with. I thought I had a bad situation when I had to grind a header bolt to get it out.

Well if you can get the head off then unbolt it and drill and back it out. Shouldn't be to bad just time consuming, Just be careful and don't strip a header bolt like I did.

I have gotten a bolt that broke off in the head on rear passenger side with a right angle drill and an easyout bit.
