Get the manifold on the bench. 

Start drilling with a s mall bit, creating a good centre in the stud.

work up to the clearance drill siez for an M10 hole.  run an M!) x 1.5 tap through the hole.

Or you can drill it less precisely (oversize) and use a nut and bolt in place of a stud.

If you're a masochist - you can lie on your back under the car and do it ;D
