I am running a C5 F1-R kit on my 6.0L block without any mods.

i just got done looking at again and I have already tapped the hole on the block.It's the one on the top,and then I have one on the bottom but I have no middle bolt hole. It is just the casting of the cylinder bore.So i only have 2 mount locations,1 on top that I tapped out and the 1 on the bottom.No middle one. Is this the way all iron block's are.???

Does anyone know the depth of a D1SC headunit from the pulley to where the inlet hat would be? I have 10 1/2" - 11" between the outer rib of my serp belt and my radiator. Although I don't have the bracket and headunit yet, by looking at every pic I could find it looks like it will fit without an issue if your radiator support is cut for a custom radiator.
