Could it effect anything in a bad way?

can you tap it out or worst case helicoil it?

Get an easy out and get that mofo outa there. If you want to keep the same size bolt go get a helicoil kit as mentioned above.

The stud is not broken off in block, the surrounding aluminum is missing where the stud used to be. Worst case scenario is a hard launch will break the remaining two flanges off and the motor begins to dangle. You can have it aluminum welded back up for a couple hundred.

I was thinking of buying the block, I can get it pretty cheap but thats the only problem with it.

I dont think I will buy it then, too risky
