Default alt bracket and 6.0 iron block

for the 408 with the cast iron block where or does anyone know who makes a bracket for the alt. this is going into a 01 ta. the usual place that it mounts does not have the three holes in the block for the old bracket. i have the engine in and everything bolted up and when i went to put the alt in i discovered this little problem. any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

you need to drill and tap for the bolt.
