I am thinking about making a bracket for an alternator and I would like to mount it with the 2 head bolts at the front of the head, below the valve cover as shown in the photo.

Is their any reason why I shouldn't use the head bolts to anchor a bracket?
What is the grade of the head bolts on a 289? I want to buy a couple bolts that are a little longer to make up for the thickness of the bracket so I can maintain full thread engagement.
Thanks
