240 Broken exhaust manifold bolts

If you do drill: center punch, good bits, small bit size increases, and a 90 degree drill. --- I am assuming they broke off flush with the head.
 
If there's enough to grab applying some heat may free what's left up enough to get out. I just had 2 from a junkyard head break off at the junkyard, they came right out with a mini pipe wrench and a Mapp gas torch. Vice grips are ok but the baby pipe wrench grabs on tighter as you increase pressure.
 
Got the head off. One is broken off flush. Another has just a tiny bit exposed.

There's a local salvage yard that could get me a head for $200 — so I'm taking that route. Hopefully I can get everything put back together this coming weekend.
