Yes. I had to drill and tap one hole for the upper alternator bracket bolt. It was the upper front bolt. There is a boss there in the block but no hole. The middle alternator bracket bolt is not used. There is no place for it on the iron block. So you end up with two long front bolts and the one shorter side bolt. It works fine.

Just take your time and go slow. Use a center punch to make a good dent in the drill spot before you start. Keep oil on the drill bit. Keep the drill good and straight. It's not too bad.

One of the two bolts you're talking about is the one he has to drill. The 6.0 only comes with one bolt hole where the alt. mounts. You have to drill the second hole to mount the second bolt for the alt. Mine came with it already drilled, so that made me a bit happy.
