Yeah, well, high-nickel cast steel is not a soft material. I had my brother do it, and it took him a long time (with it jig'd up in a drill press). taking it to a machine shop is a good idea. Grind the nub on the inside down if you manifold has one, this is a much easier job since you can use a die-grinder with grit.
Also tapping, make sure you have top quality super hard tap, maybe two. With a sub quality tap, it will round the teeth and begin to simply screw into the hole intstead of cutting the threads deeper.
