Head Aches
Just bought a warmed over small block for one of my project cars,But i have just seen it has the double hump heads.My question is how do i fit the alternator as the heads have no provision for the bolts.
Do i drill and tap the heads,
Is there a fitting kit available,
Or do i need to fab some kind of bracket up.
Any ideas.
Thanks

If you have headers, header-mount alternator brackets are available. If not, you can get a set of early model (<1969) 'Vette exhaust manifolds (the alt. mounts on the manifold) and alternator brackets.

I'm wondering the same thing. I have a set of heads with a serpentine bracket on it, and one of the required bolt holes is not present in that head. I was wondering if it can be drilled and tapped without affecting the structural integrity of the head. Similar question as above, just different purpose. Sorry for hijacking.

I have drilled and tapped camel hump heads to accept accessories with out any problems.
