Alt.Bracket BBC Short Pump-Tall Style

The Alt.Bracket BBC Short Pump-Tall Style from Alan Grove Components is a purpose-built alternator bracket engineered for big block Chevy engines in street rod and custom marine applications. This high-mount bracket solves a critical challenge for boaters and hot rod builders: integrating a modern alternator into tight engine compartments without sacrificing clearance or reliability. Whether you're upgrading a classic boat motor or modernizing a street rod powerplant, this bracket positions the alternator where serpentine belt routing and water pump interference become non-issues.

Constructed from durable steel in natural finish, the Alt.Bracket BBC Short Pump-Tall Style mounts directly to the head and water pump, creating a rock-solid platform for GM alternators on big block applications. The tall-style design provides the vertical clearance needed when running a short water pump configuration—a common setup in compact engine bays where every inch of space matters. The bracket's rigid steel construction ensures zero flex under load, preventing belt slippage and maintaining consistent electrical output even during extended operation at full throttle. Alan Grove's engineering focuses on eliminating the clearance conflicts that plague standard factory mounting solutions.

This bracket is ideal for marine builders, street rod fabricators, and boaters running big block Chevy engines with modern charging systems. The high-mount passenger-side configuration works seamlessly with short-block water pump setups, making it particularly valuable for retrofit projects where space constraints force unconventional mounting. Weighing 4.51 lbs and measuring 6.5 x 2.5 x 13 inches, installation requires basic mechanical skills and standard hand tools. Compatibility is limited to big block Chevy engines paired with GM alternators, so verify your specific engine and charging system before ordering.
