Fuel pressure regulator bracket mounted in front of motor?
Hello,
I would like to mount the fuel pressure regulator in front of the motor above the water pump. Any ideas on who sells a bracket for this application.
Thanks,
Joe

Wouldn't it be pretty easy to make your own out of some crap steel? If you don't have a welder...just do all the cutting and grinding yourself, and take the parts to a small machine shop to weld up for you. Prolly won't cost more than $30.

When I bought my 70 LS5 it had Factory TriPower on it... and custom tires made for Gulf for use on their testing track. They had engineered a bracket to hold a Holley regulator up in front of the carbs. I could shoot some digital pics of it. Its a "One Off", engineered bracket, not a cob job.

In an Edelbrock catalog, you can see that they make an aluminum bracket (actually a plate of aluminum) that bolts along side of the carb. The bracket uses the carb mounting studs for attachment. They sell the bracket, the regulator, and the braided hoses to the barb inlet bowls. I use a drop base air cleaner and I had to grind a small hole in the air cleaner base to prevent interference with the top of the regulator and the air cleaner base.

That sounds easy to make on your own. I used to make throttle brackets for my MOPAR motors, and did a similar thing...mounting the plate tot he carb bolts.
