BMR Alternator Bracket on 6.0L ?

I tried searching and couldn't find what I was looking. So hopefully someone can answer it for me.

I just bought a BMR Alternator relocation bracket for my 6.0L LQ4. I just went to mock it up on the block to drill and tap the hole like BMR says is needed for the 6.0L. My problem is that there aren't any existing bolt holes in the block that allow the top bracket to reach the tab that needs to be drilled and tapped. Also none of the supplied bolts fit in the existing holes.

I know I have seen a picture on here somewhere on how to mount this bracket on a 6.0L but I can't seem to find.

Yes on the Iron Block the pad is there, it's just not drilled/threaded

Looks like it utilizes the power steering bracket holes.

Yes the hole is already drilled and tapped in the head.

I was running the BMR bracket directly from the crank pulley to alternator on my LS7 block. I kept throwing or chewing up belts no matter how tight I had them on there. I got 1-4 passes per belt (gatorbacks). I recently went back to a stock mount and Katech tensioner and the problem was solved. Dunno why the belt wouldn't stay on as everything lined up perfectly.

They said this is designed to be used with an electric water pump.

Why run a belt around the stock water pump if there's no other accessories needing that belt?

yep that's a pic of my engine, thanks for saving me the time to post it. I drilled and tapped a hole in the block and used the bottom hole on the cylinder head.
