Yes.

yes, that is what i had envisioned. i took a look at it today. looks doable but i will have to mess with moving the power steering hoses a little bit. I still havent ruled out the back of the head. with exception of a tight fit against the firewall and alot of fuel injection wiring i have a ton of space...... and just as i wrote that i had an idea....what about the utilizing the bell crank pivot hole to mount up something?

I'm not sure if the block casting is stout enough in that area. I wouldn't put all that force on only one bolt attached directly to the block casting, a stout bracket bolted to either the front or back of the head with 3 bolts would be a much better choice in my opinion.
