I have a right side part # 3747038 which looks like it will work on the passenger side. I’d like to mount an alternator on the driver’s side. Can I use a manifold with no mounting brackets on the driver side and use a block/intake mount system for the alternator? My heads have no accessory holes. This is a 1964 327 in a 1957 Chevy 1/2 ton. I’m open to 2 1/2” or 2” inch collectors.
Thank you,

I've fabricated several of them out of a piece of angle iron and some short 3/8" pipe nipples.

Scroll down till you see something that might work for you. http://stevensparts.com/CHEV%20EXHAUST%20MANIFOLDS.htm#283-307-327-350I believe Mr. Gasket and others make a simple, inexpensive SBC alternator exhaust mounting bracket.
