454 engine brackets
I recently acquired a 454 that was in a 1970 Chevelle (not numbers matching, so don't worry), and it was configured to look original to it with the compressor on the driver side and alternator on the passenger side. I'd like to swap it around to make it look right for my 1972.
Does anyone know the correct part numbers for the alternator, compressor, and power steering pump brackets for a 454 engine to make look close (or just like) to original (compressor on passenger side, alt on driver side)? I'm not sure if the PS pump brackets would be the same. Also, does anyone know if a modern style compressor (like a vintage air system would have) will bolt up to a factory bracket and align? |

Re: 454 engine brackets
Since the 70 chevelle used a long water pump you need to change that to use a full drive set off a swp 396/402 chevy light truck engine. Rounding up the various numbers isn't easy and finding them is even harder. Best bet is to buy a full set from one source like in the classifieds from a parted truck.

Re: 454 engine brackets
Thanks. If I used the setup like it came out of the chevelle, would the fan on it and my existing shroud line up, or would it go too deep with the long pump?
