“l im going to do is tap and die into the head new threads in the proper placement so all the holes line up on the sr manifold boooya 10 doller kat manifold that wont break”  
Can you elaborate a bit on this? You’re drilling the head in new locations to put in studs, or? I’ve never heard of fitting an SR manifold on a KA, but it seems like a great budget alternative, so if you can, please post some more details.

probably one of the dumbest ideas ever, what if you drill in and hit a water/oil jacket in the head?

Why not fill the old holes, and buld up the mani itself with weld/new material and drill new holes in _it_ to match up on the block?

actually if you want really ghetto design your own muffler… ever see snowmobile/seadoo exhausts? they have huge conical expansion chambers with restrictors at the outlet, of course each exhaust port gets it’s own or paired up with just one other… they make huge power with those, they really suck if you replace them with straight pipes
