    Alternator bracket

    I'm putting together the front part of my sbc 350. I was attaching the alternator bracket when I noticed my intake manifold doesn't have a place to mount the bracket. Is there a different kind of bracket. Apparently they just use 1 bolt, because this is the bracket that came off this motor...

    I fixed all the rust as best you can do without cutting pieces. It's in really good shape, it's about 90% rust free. I'm not really restoring it. This is just my work truck. But as I go I'm wanting a better job. Here is a couple of pictures. Thanks
