My 5.7L was in the casting of the block on the passenger side where the bell bolts to the engine, neer the top. Don't know for sure if the 6.0L is the same place.

It's stamped 6.0, and it only has one bolt where the alternator would normally be on a 5.7 block (if it hasn't been used for any other application).
