Engine pull brackets
Can anyone tell me or have a pic, on where the pull brackets go for a 427 tri set up? I have a set of big block brackets but the fuel line is in the way for it, unless they install reverse (meaning loop in back with straight bar up front) but then all the sheilding will be covering and in the way? Thanks for any help

The rear bracket bolts to the back of the passenger's side head. Chuck

I just dropped in my 502 BBC new from the General...
It had a plate attached to the passenger side head on the upper hole closest to the intake and on the driver side head in the same place. The plates were nothing special just a piece of 1/8 plate about 1 1/2 inches wide with two holes.
the real ticket is an engine tilter

Maybe somebody else knows. Maybe they put the carbs on the intake after the engine was in the frame?
4 barrel BB's still retain both brackets. Chuck
