Help Wanted: Low Mount 7.4L alternator mounting bracket p/n

[RicardoMarine]

I'm helping a man source a few parts for a rather unorthodox engine installation.
He is in need of a 7.4L Port side low mount standard single arm alternator mounting bracket.

He'd like to use the SJE Closed Cooling kit 334 or 335. This kit requires the low mount alternator as to free up the front cylinder head bolt holes.

This Merc bracket would appear to work, but I'd like to confirm just how/where it fastens to the engine.




Barr offers a universal alternator bracket for the SBC.
Do any of you know if there is a universal low mount bracket for the BBC?


Here is the 334 kit on a 7.4L engine.
Note the alternator location.
He'll be using V-belts.
There will be no Power Assist steering, and he'll be using the Stbd side belt driven sea water pump, similar to what's shown here.



Any help would be appreciated.

I'd make sure he has adequate clearance (stringer) around the alternator. The MERC bracket appears to be viable...assuming it hasn't gone NLA...

I've done a few unorthodox installations using MARCH products...I'd be willing to be they have an option or two.

The bracket only has a few candidates to attach to; looking at the V-drive picture, I'd say the cylinder head is most likely...you can always call Stillwater or Fon du Lac and ask them to verify the mounting points...
