I'm installing my 327,w/300 D hump heads and no bracket holes into my '48 and now I am wondering what ALT,PS,brackets do I use on my motor.
Anybody have this problem if so do you have any pics of what you did or what brackets you used?

As I remember it, the driver's side exhaust manifold had bolt holes for the alternator bracket, and other accessory brackets mounted to the intake manifold and/or the front engine mount holes down near the harmonic balancer.

If all else fails,go to your local hotrod shop and purchase the Alan Grove brackets.They work like a charm.

I use the late model low-compression heads with the bolt holes, and angle-mill them to get more compression (60 CC) than a camel hump. They're also "legal" for claimer engines if the tech man doesn't know what to look for!
