ALT BRACKET SBC LWP DRIV ERS SIDE LOW PROFILE

The ALT BRACKET SBC LWP DRIVERS SIDE LOW PROFILE from Alan Grove Components is a precision-engineered alternator mounting solution designed for small-block Chevy engine swaps and high-performance builds. This driver-side bracket addresses one of the most common installation challenges in SBC engine conversions: achieving proper alternator clearance while maintaining reliable mounting in tight engine bays. Whether you're retrofitting a modern engine into a classic chassis or optimizing a street machine, this low-profile design eliminates the guesswork and fabrication typically required for custom alternator positioning.

Constructed from durable steel in natural finish, this bracket mounts to the water pump and exhaust manifold, providing dual-point locating for maximum rigidity and alignment accuracy. The low-profile geometry is specifically engineered to work with standard GM alternators while clearing headers, intake manifolds, and other accessory drive components common in tight installations. The long water pump configuration ensures compatibility with extended water pump mounting bosses found on many performance small-block applications, while the driver-side orientation suits vehicles where steering geometry or frame constraints require alternator placement on the left bank. Alan Grove Components' bracket design eliminates parasitic movement and reduces stress concentration points that commonly lead to alternator failure in high-vibration engine builds.

This bracket is ideal for SBC engine swap projects, street rods, drag racing platforms, and engine bay restorations where factory alternator mounting locations are incompatible with modern engine configurations or performance components. Installers benefit from the engineered approach to belt alignment and alternator accessibility, reducing assembly time and eliminating the need for custom fabrication. At 4.97 lbs and compact dimensions (6.3 x 2.2 x 13.1 inches), it ships efficiently and integrates seamlessly into existing engine management systems. Proper installation with this OEM-quality bracket ensures consistent alternator output, extended component lifespan, and the mechanical reliability expected in serious automotive builds.
