What do you guys think of these brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The local Hot Rod shop ordered me the wrong alternator and A/C brackets, they ordered me the kind that mounts the Alt and ac above the intake instead of on the sides of the engine here s the link to them http://www.hotrodsusa.com/store/bills_100.html

Just wanted a couple of different opinions before going through the trouble of returning, exchangin, etc

Look good maybe on a street rod, but your engine bay has more than adequate space for accessories to be mounted lower.

I think it hides the engine when viewed from the top. <--My two

I would get original brackets, I think they look the best, JMO.

The problem with the stock brackets is the heidth of the valve covers when you run roller rockers. If you look at the pics he is running tall valve covers....
