broken bolt inside block... bolt was holding bracket holding thermostat to engine... 700 1990

I did this once. And then broke the easy out in the bolt. So we drilled the thrmostat housing for a new bolt, and drilled and tapped the head for a new bolt. If you get stuck, you may have to try relocating the stud in this fashion. You don't need to pull the head or anything. You could also try making a bigger hole around the current stud, but I am not sure how much meat is there before you run into a water jacket. If you do this, you would end up with a big stud on one side, but that is OK.
