Alternator Bracket for SBC with headers

[bigkahuna327]

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,

I have used the "step bracket" sold by mr gasket that mounts to the front header tube bolts and the "u" bracket that the sell to get the pivot point for the bottom of the alt. and the 66-68 chrome 327 solid bracket they sell to get the upper slider. It works ok. My 68 had a homemade setup that used the original brackets coupled with a strap made from a piece of steel that bolted to the block at the location of the power steering mount. Luckily it did not mess up the original bracket and it worked ok, but not pretty. I did not take pictures it was that bad, go with the mr gasket stuff and you should be ok.
