55-69 SBC Steel Low Mt Alt Bracket Chrome

The 55–69 SBC Steel Low Mount Alternator Bracket Chrome from Racing Power Co-Packaged is a driver-side, block-mounted bracket engineered for small block Chevy engines configured with short water pumps. This steel construction bracket delivers the mechanical support required to position an alternator in the low-mount configuration, a layout preferred in custom engine builds where underhood space is optimized for high-output cooling systems or aggressive intake manifold designs.

Chrome plating provides corrosion resistance and finished appearance in engine bays exposed to moisture and temperature cycling. The low-mount positioning allows alternator installation below the centerline of the engine block, a configuration that works within tight packaging constraints and complements serpentine belt routing common in modernized small block Chevy platforms. Weighing 1.64 lbs and measuring 8.85 × 11.95 inches, the bracket integrates directly into block-mounted fastening points without additional adaptation hardware. This is a single-unit bracket—the driver-side mount only—so builders working on complete alternator system installations will need to source the corresponding passenger-side component separately.

Custom engine builders, restoration shops, and hot rod enthusiasts rely on purpose-built brackets like this one to ensure proper alternator alignment and secure mounting in non-OEM configurations. The small block Chevy platform remains the dominant choice for marine engines, street rods, and performance vehicles where alternator placement directly influences belt tension geometry and engine bay thermal management. This bracket solves the specific fitment challenge posed by short water pump installations, where traditional high-mount alternator positions conflict with modern cooling requirements.
