Can '461 heads be drilled/tapped for a power steering bracket? Is there another way to mount the bracket if not.

Thanks
Moe

Please close this thread. I found my answer. There is a bracket that mounts off the exhaust manifold, which in turns supports the power steering bracket.

To answer this ques for those who may also want to know, the answer is no. The reason is because heads with accessory holes have bosses cast into the head which provides extra metal for drilling and tapping. On heads without these bosses, you WILL go into water, for sure. And at the top of the head there is no metal for a bracket to butt up against.
