I heard that you have to drill an extra hole in the iron block to use it in the F-bodies. I tried to do a search on it, but couldn't find anything.

What needs to be done?

One hole for the side alternator bolt in the front. The middle alternator bolt is no longer used. Just have the machine shop do while doing the rest of the work.

Or do like I did. Mount the alternator bracket, mark the hole then a drill and tap. Done. 10 minutes.
