Joe,
I think I know what you're talking about doing to fix it. You trust that method?
I can drill the bolt out, I have a pneumatic drill motor that will clear that ****** out like no tomorrow. I do not however have any bits that are big enough, so I'll pick one up and get it cleaned out.
I'll give you a call Monday about renting that tool. I'm guessing you can get or know where to get at the bigger diameter bolt in sufficient grade?
Thanks for your help, hopefully I can fix it this way. The effort/benefit ratio on a motor I only wanted to last the next 8-12 months fades quickly.
To the people talking about easy outs. I'm 99% sure the threads were cut wrong on the GM bolt. I don't think an easy out will do it, and will probably just break in the bolt, and then I have REALLY hard parts to try and drill.

I got a universal drive shaft loop (two piece) from Jegs or Summitt...had a buddy install/weld it. Works great and was cheap. Why RHS heads? there are so many proven heads out there, why use an off brand like RHS (I know they do a ton of sbc race stuff), but even some ported LS6 heads from Al would be killer and proven. Kooks are 1 3/4 I assume? Get the biggest tranny cooler you can get and DO NOT use synthetic tranny fluid. SHould be a fun car!

You could always weld a smaller bolt to the broken end and with the heat of the weld it should help you back it out... Ive seen it done it works and then use a arp bolt. This way you have no chance of screwing up the threads drilling and tapping Plus you reuse a factory bolt not some sbc stuff..

Joe,
I looked through my toolset in the garage, and I actually have 3/4" taps.
I can take care of it, now that I'm not soo pissed at the bolt to think straight.
I do owe you a 6 pack or something, since it's your idea and all. What's your beer of choice, I'll drop you some off.

NVader, I'll get over there this week and grab that stuff. I may plumb up the rest of that kit with a 50 shot to juice up the turbo.
PM me your address (I remember mostly where you live, but not completely) and when a good time to stop by is. Thanks for keeping it warm. LOL.
