Question anyone know a good shop for installing headers?

I don't actually need them installed but the left side header decided it didn't like having the last 2 bolts anymore and they backed all the way out, grew some legs and ran away!
It's a BIG project just to even get to these things and I have no idea what I'm gonig to do? Does anyone know of any good shops in the Central Mass area that I can take this thing to get those bolts replaced. The place it is now quoted me almost $1000.00

I need some serious help people...

These bolts are fugging BURRIED!! Looking at the engine, the header of the left is barely visible itself, I have no idea how I'm going to get at these things :blah:
I'm picking up the car tonight and I'm going to see how difficult this is actually going to be, I know it's going to be a biznatch!

You should be able to access them one way or another. I've had my share of header bolt woes too. Good luck man

have you tried calling NEDYNO to see what they would charge to put on a new gasket which you will need now, and replace the 2 bolts.
