Lots of work done to my '72
Well started off as a simple little head swap.........
The F me.. Hey Drink, sound good to swap all the '73 up bbc stuff for the correct year '72 bbc stuff.. Yeah Drink it does sound like a good idea.. Some one should have slapped me.... I am waiting to get a set of hoses for the a/c.. but I do have the bbc brackets to complete the engine area.... Then I said..Hey drink.. Sound good to get rid of the big back crappy bumper.... Hell yeah it does.... So I did that as well.... took me over 3 weeks from begining of swapping the heads till the Rear bumper swap..... You would think I had nothing else to do... Before............

I still need a good pic of the '72 alt bracket setup.. I had to use a spacer on the top for it to work...
I think I have it setup wrong..

 Good job Jon, BTW--next time give me a call, maybe I can come over and slap you and take that bumper off your hands before any real work can get done!

I took over an hour looking through google images and finally found how my alt bracket should go..
I had it wrong. Bolted to water pump. It should have been bolted to the head.. Pain in the butt to put back to somewhat stock...
