I have a 2004 Crate 350 HO and looking for the best type of alternator bracket to use with Vortec heads and a short water pump, as always I look to the experts here what do you think will work best?

Although I don't have as new of an engine, I agree with Shine on the solid ones. Mine came from Street & Performance, but many places carry them. Zoops also has some nice ones too.

I have used the steel front runner system from Vintage air on 2 different occasions. They always worked well, because I had no accessory holes in the front of the heads. The whole system bolts to the water pump and 2 supports onto the intake. Very secure. They can be used with most all heads. And you can paint paint them.

never worry about drilling the extra hole in the pass head. no big deal.

Wow, Thank you all for your advice.

Hi jimmothershead, the application is in my 39 Chevy 2dr sedan on a Chevy 2004 350 HO Crate motor with the Vortec heads.

Please see photo attached.

Tom if budget is a concern, check out the weld it yourself brackets from " welder Series" they come pre cut and just require welding. Paul Horton , the shop owner has been in the street rod business for a long long time.

These are Alan Grove, his latest for the Vortec. Will clear tall covers and tuck in tight for side clearance if you run hood sides. Bolt on to existing head holes and w/pump. No problems at all.

Hey, Tom......looks nice. With all the chrome, I would go with Bills Brackets for alt/comp. But you have ps, so will need triple groove crank pulley, double groove pump pulley...chrome or billet ?? Might be time to consider a March serp kit. Will need a Vette reverse flow pump and reverse Flexalite fan blade, yes you will have plenty of space. Forget the electric fan.

So do the numbers.

Have fun, Jim
