$200 for a header install isn't bad...but how are they going to break a bolt off and drop it in the block? Unless they mean breaking a bolt off in the head...and I've only seen the crossover bolts break. not the ones on the head. Pretty sure I'd do it for $200...it isn't a fun job to do.

Ya thats what he meant. Is it a common thing that the stock bolts that connect the manifold break off into the head? Im not sure if he was just saying that to get a few more bucks out of me for the job... thanks .

Extremely uncommon for a bolt to break off in a head. So uncommon that I'd say you had to have the gun set to "On" and "kill" in order to do it.
I've done one...only one, only because I was gunning along in a race against time.

$200 for a header install? I'd be on top of that. I'd rather drop a couple bucks than save it only to make trouble and work for myself. Especially since I don't have a lift - installing on jack stands would be a pain, to say the least.
I'm told it's an 8-hour job... labor out here near Philthadelphia like $80/hr if not more. $80x8=$640. You'd be saving $440 worth of frustration to get someone else to do it and do it right.
