The battery cable, from the starter to the relay, has a bracket on it about halfway that bolts to the engine somewhere.....
does anyone know where it bolts to??? Thanks

Most of the ones I seen have two, bolts on both sides of the engine, there is a bolt boss on the sides just above the oil pan rail.
you got the brackets?

Thanks for the pic........Yes that helps, but what is that hole its bolted to?? Must be where the motor mount bolts to the engine?? Trying to install all that I can on the engine before I put it in the car.... Looks like I need to get the Ground cable also and install it at the same time...

Couldn't find a decent pic of a 302 block but here's where it will be in general.

The original diagram from 91AOD shows a machined surface with two holes...... That threw me off......
