Not Ranked
I'd helicoil it, or insert it, whatever you want to call it. You should be able to find a "kit" including the helicoil type inserts and the approprite sized tap and insertion tool at any hardware store, or I think NAPA or other autoparts stores. Take your bolt with you ( ? 5/16 ) to get the correct size. It will then specify what drill bit to use, which you have to purchase separately. If you can get to it, I would leave the intake on the car and try to repair it there, making sure you drill and tap it perpendicular. If you screw it up bad, you'll need to take the intake off and have somebody reweld the hole. Good luck.

The Corvette people were completely demoralized."
