the towers bolt in the front holes of the frame (1st set back from the fan shroud) You do not have to drill any holes for this. The top bolts go through the frame at the top and the bottem bolts the the cross member. This should be a direct bolt in for your truck unless you have the wrong mounts??? Do you have the 72 or do you have the 68-71 type- 72 use clam shells like 73-up but are flatter than 73. 71 down look very much like sb mounts but have larger hole for the mounts to bolt up.

No mods required, I did a little FAQ on big block mounts if you care to look.
