Camel-hump head brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just wondering if it is worth the headache of dealing with the bracket issues when using the camel humps??? I have run across a heck of a deal on a set of #291's (less than $200). What am I really getting my self into? I have seen a few of the bracket set-ups for a whole lot more money than I want to tie up in brackets. Just give me some thoughts.......Or maybe some ways to rig some brackets up.......Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!!!!!!

i do believe the power steering brackets are the hardest too find as you can buy the alternator bracket in chrome through most parts stores

Is the problem that they are not drilled and tapped for brackets? Alan Grove might make a set to fit. I have never heard a bad word about ANY of his products.

I wouldn't bother with those heads for that price unless they already have hardened seats in them...

I second Slonaker on Alan Grove. I have their brackets for my big block, and am VERY pleased!

They also have exactly what you are looking for.
