Those are made to bolt in the valley or to the intake manifold of most domestic V8s. The vh45 doesn't really have anywhere to bolt to in the valley that I would trust to hold all of the weight.

You can always fabricate one. I took some steel plate and heated it up where I wanted to bend it, welded on a support truss and drilled a large hole to hook into, as well as two holes where you bolt it to the motor...then I just used wrapped the opposite chain around the passenger side rear intake runner. Worked out well...
