Buy this tool from McMaster-Carr. (404) 629-6500
1/2" Square-Drive Stud Extractor
The knurled bottom wheel on this simple tool lets you tightly grip studs and bolt ends. Removes 1/4" to 3/4" size studs. A standard 1/2" square-drive ratchet wrench (not included) drives the extractor. Use on right-hand threads. Made of steel. 2537A11 Each $26.54

Did the bolt break flush with the head or does it stick out the 3/8" of the header flange?
Firehawk #608: I've never had any luck with that style of tool.

Then you have two different sizes depending on the diameter of the broken stud. You slip it through the smallest hole and that knurled wheel bites into the broken stud when you turn it with a ratchet.
I've gotten out some large, siezed studs before using one of those. As long as there's about half inch or more of stud sticking out of the head, that tool will turn it loose. ~Joshua

You have to drill it dead center and use an "easy out." I doubt you'll get a drill angled correctly in the engine bay.
You'll probably have to remove the head. Thought about doing a heads/cam install? Now might be a good time.
