need some ideas for alternator brackets
im finally getting closer to fire up on my 55 starcheif. and i need to come up with alternator brackets. so here is my dilema. its a 59 389, im running a offy aluminum 3 duece set up. it has no provisions for the 55-58 generator mount, which i have on my original engine already converted to a alt. the next issue is i dont have 59 generator brackets to modify either, which puts is off to the side. besides the 59 brackets is there any thing else you guys have done for a side mount bracket set up? thanks john

You might look at a 63 alt bracket.Im modding a 69 first gen engine to put the alt on the pass side.Will post a pic.Tom

i wish i could do that but 59 still has the reverse cooling, so the two elbows in the head are still in the way.

Sorry,just assumed you would do away with it.Tom

On the '58 engine in my GMC I used a Mopar alternator due to its shortness. The mounting was simple to fabricate. [Long story, why I needed it on the passenger side]

thank you, i just located a 59 lower bracket.

I used a late GM alternator on my 57 engine. I fab'd my own brackets from stuff I had lying around.
