As Geoff said these are plentiful. Most vendor sell them new for about 90 bucks. most parters ask about 30 bucks plus shipping. There is a two piece set on the parts board right now for 36 bucks.

from what you described its hard to give you an answer. maybe show some pictures of your motor area. I had a problem just like this but mine was with my 383 stroker and the heads did not have tapped holes so I was unable to mount the alternator in the stock area with out making a special bracket. so I am not sure if this maybe your problem also.

Sorry to get a little off topic here or hijack thread but it's kind of relevant. Will these brackets fit on vortec heads? there are a couple threaded holes but I don't know if they are in the right place. Has anyone put factory brackets on these heads?
