accessory bolt holes

allright this is going to sound like a stupid question. ive got a line on a 350 to swap into my camaro. but its only got one accessory bolt hole on the passenger side head. (upper hole on header side of head) question is which holes do I need for a v belt set up on a thirdgen.

Re: accessory bolt holes

Any holes you need can be drilled and tapped easily. I added a hole on my 86 305 for serpentine belt swap. No problem. Just properly locate the hole with a transfer punch and make sure you use thread sealant. I like Loctite 545 personally. Really isn't an issue - the head bolts themselves extend right into the block water passages and must use sealant also.

And if you are swapping engines - PLEASE put on the serp system. It works really, really good. No belt noises ever again!
