Thumbs up Thanks Tom

Thanks;

As far as the alternator bracket goes the top is the standard 289/302 bracket for the right side which I just flipped over and made spacers for. The lower bracket I fabricated from 1/8" X 1 1/2" flat steel, 7/16" hardened threaded rod, 3/8" NPT pipe. It came out nice, and works like a champ all the way to red line.The alternator is a GM one wire, but your Ford alternator will work just the same. I will try to get out there today and snap a few closer pictures and send them to you. I put the alt on the left for clearance reasons and to keep most of the wiring down the left side of the nose.

The wire looms are Moroso, I used 2 sets because I needed 3 brackets for each side. The kits even come with the loose wire seperators that you see near the front of the valve covers. I hand made the wires from a universal set of Accel 8 MM spiral core.
