Default Need advice on alternator bracket.

Small block, short water pump with power steering. I installed a tunnell ram intake but there is no boss for the alternator bracket. There is no holes in the heads. I cant seem to find any setup that will allow for a alternator. Any suggestions?
Thanks

You're talking about the upper bracket I take it. You can connect to the upper water pump mounting bolt, with a bracket like this:

Sixty-six and earlier SBC's used the long bracket from the w/pump bolt.
W/pump bolt is a double studded bolt.

I cant see the image, it just has a red x. Also the bracket has 1 bolt that goes in the water pump and 1 that goes in the intake which my intake doesnt have.

you can drill and tap the head for the threads. just find a head with holes to measure so it goes in the right spot

Here's what I've used on numerous builds. It's less than $15 for the two pieces at Summit, and works with long or short water pumps. Chrome too! Works with headers or stock exhaust manifolds on the front exhaust port bolts.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately this bracket http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g4051/overview/ bolts to the head. My head doesnt have any bolt holes.

I presume you already have the alternator hanging on a lower bracket, which is what those two ^ are. This is the upper bracket that was in the picture you couldn't view: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/spe-42263/overview/
