Can you sandwich the bracket and motor mound and block with longer bolt. You should a 1/4 of play room.
That is what I am currently debating either that or sticking the bracket in front of the mount and just cutting it to fit around the motor mount.
I think a more recent bracket will mount at the head and water pump. Mid to late seventies pickup truck bracket should work.
The brackets that I stole off of another motor came out of a squarebody pickup. the problem with those brackets is they require a new water pump after I have already replaced the one currently on my truck and I would have to redo the charging system since the alternator would be moved to the other side which isn't a huge deal but I would rather not do it.
