Our bracket isn't specifically made for that location but you should be able to make it work by drilling a hole or two in it, as long as the chassis, Etc, isn't in the way.

I have a small block but I think the three bolt hole locations are standard between big block and small block?
I used the BBC mounting plate on my SBC and drilled the third hole to make it stronger. When I had the Hoosier tires it would tire shake so bad it was tearing everything up so I made it stronger. I think all of the brackets should use three holes much stronger and eliminates that vibration.

I checked my bracket today and it will line up with those holes but the holes are for 3/8 bolts not 7/16 which those holes you are talking about are tapped to. You would have to enlarge the slot which would be hard to do with typical home tools.

Which bracket do you have? I can alter one at work in the bridgeport..

It could cause problems with radiator hose if you are running regular sized hose.

Could anyone send me pictures of their setups for mounting vacuum pump not on the head? New engine going in my car does not have the holes drilled in the head for mounting anything to it... I can drill my front motor plate, would just prefer not to.

That'll be my last resort if I can't come up with any better ideas.. Gonna do the same thing with my coil, have to get a different bracket that only uses two mounting points to hold the HVC-II coil and mount it on the back of mid plate.
