You will be okay. The Dakota didn't have an upper and lower, but it is still basically the same. Let me know what you decide or if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe

I got Permatex steel and metal weld and going to put a threaded stud in the bolt hole an fill it with Permatex steel an metal weld and let it sit and dry good overnight and put some in that little hole. Maybe this will buy me some time. I will see how it goes an go from there.

Sounds like a plan. Keep me in the loop. Hopefully that will buy you some time. However, I feel really confident you will be able to replace the manifold when you are ready.
Take care,
Joe

The permatex held long enough for a text short drive an that was it. It started leaking. So I found a self tapping bolt so I am good now.
