Default Engine bracket questions

I bought a car that “ran great just needs a head gasket”. Turns out that was a lie. So I had to buy new heads. I couldn’t find any and ended up buying some camel hump heads that were recently machined. Camel humps do not have bolt holes in the front for the power steering and AC brackets. Does anyone have a link for brackets that will work or a different belt set up? I am going to commit sacrilege and ditch the TPI for either a Sniper I have laying around or a carb.




Taking to machine shop soon

Swapping on a Holley Sniper isn't sacrilege. The carb would be...lol

Do the camel hump heads have the bosses for the holes cast in them? If they are any machine shop could drill and tap those for cheap.

Default No bosses

Not they don’t have the bosses and it looks pretty thin up near the top where they would need to go. I’m thinking I will have to find some adapter for old engines.
