Re: hmmmmm???

OK...I'll respond.

If your thinking of locating the mount in a different location on the side of the block, then drilling some holes into the block to bolt the mount to.....Forget it. You will compromise the engine/block structure.

If you fabricate an offset adaptor that bolts on the original mount attachment on the side of the block and then allows the mount to be bolted to the adaptor but not in line with the original attachment to the block.....Yup, you can do. Been done many times before.

Also, you can fabricate a plate that has overhangs that when bolted to the front of the block allow the mounts to be bolted to. The shape of the plate depends on where your mounts need to be to pick up on the car's frame.
