I thing the "eyelets" are for alignment dowels on the assembly line.

I had some rust there that I sandblasted out and just needed to protect the bare metal from the elements for now.  I Might paint the engine bay black today before I drop the 5.0L back into place.  So  excited though, I cant wait to crank it over and hear the HO purr.:cool:    We'll see.

ahh, makes sense, I looked at it for a minute thinking you modded it and then painted over.(like, different mounting surface) 
I plan on pulling mine out, but want to get an idea what kind of space I'll have, thanks again.
