A right  angle pneumatic drill will get in there. BTDT. It is a PITA but
possible.  You will need to remove some brackets and hoses but it can be
done.

Dennis, I've never tried this as I don't own  a right angle pneumatic drill.
HOWEVER, I have recently ordered one from  Harbour Freight as they had a good
deal on one and the exchange rate is in my  favour these days.  I bought it
with the intention of being able to drill  out those broken exhaust bolt/studs
without removing the engine.  I'm still  a bit leary of being able to keep the
drill true and not go off centre and  into the block and really screw things
up.  One of the problems in doing  this drilling as I have seen is that a lot
of those bolt/studs have become case  hardened and are extremely hard to
drill.  If your not real careful the  drill will wander off into the block where it
has an easier time drilling.   Still a PITA no matter how you drill it !
