I'm trying to change my 327 SBC over to run a set of headers and I'm running into a slight problem.

Currently my alternator is located on the drivers side with the top bracket connecting to front of the intake manifold and the lower bracket bolting into a boss on the front of the stock exhaust manifold.

With the headers I will no longer have a place to mount the lower bracket, and since my 327 has double hump heads, there is no place to bolt a traditional lower bracket into the front of the head.

Does anyone have a suggestion, part numbers, or can tell me what brackets may work to convert this over without switching everything around and using as much of my current setup as possible?

Thanks,
