Since you have a welder, it's really easy to just remove the exh manifold, then weld a nut or bolt onto the broken off piece that's stuck in the head. It will come right out. Works EVERY time, I promise.

yeah it is not broken off flush.... It is broken about half way down as far as i can tell... A bolt used to thread partly into it then just stop.... I have never heard of one breaking off half way into the hole before...

I'm pretty sure my truck is your twin. I like the 2/4 you made with a flip kit. I may steal your idea. I've got a flip and its too low for the roads around here. Good build bud!

That's still a candidate for welding. I've done it a few times. Build the bolt up with your weld, a little bit at a time. Then weld a nut onto the bead that you built up in the hole. It works.

Unless you need to pull the heads for another reason anyways.
