Default Alternator Bracket

I need help with the how to mount the original alternator on my crate motor?

I replaced the motor in my 63 vert with a 350 ci/385 hp crate motor from GM performance. I also added headers and a high flow water pump so my problem is how do I mount the alternator?



Thanks in advance

I'm not sure what an F style header alternator mount is. Can you point me at a part number or picture?

OR if you are mounting on the left side (driver) you can use a C3 style mount that bolts to the front of the cylinder head. Look for one from a 78. You might need to shim it out from the front bosses of the cylinder head to achieve belt alignment.

Lots of them out there and you don't have to mess with your header bolt/stud arrangement.

Oops. Sorry, just looked at the picture again and saw you are right side mounting.
