Alt.Bracket SBC Short Pump Driver Side High Mt

The Alt.Bracket SBC Short Pump Driver Side High Mt from Alan Grove Components is a precision-engineered alternator bracket designed for small block Chevy engine builds requiring a compact, high-mount configuration. This driver-side bracket is engineered for builders and restorers who need to maximize underhood clearance while maintaining reliable electrical charging in tight engine compartments. The high-mount design allows alternators to sit higher on the engine block, making it ideal for custom chassis work, vintage restorations, and modern LS conversions into older vehicles where factory mounting points don't align with contemporary engine packages.

Constructed from durable steel in a natural finish, this bracket accommodates short water pump configurations common in small block Chevy engines and is engineered specifically for GM alternators. The short pump mounting interface reduces overall engine depth, a critical advantage when fitting V8 powerplants into compact engine bays or when running serpentine belt systems with space constraints. Weighing just 3.25 lbs and measuring 6 x 4 x 8 inches, the bracket integrates seamlessly with water pump assemblies while providing rigid support for alternator load and vibration. The driver-side positioning ensures proper belt routing and clearance from headers, intake manifolds, and auxiliary components typical in modified small block applications.

Engine builders, hot rod fabricators, and restoration specialists benefit most from this bracket when constructing custom engine mounts or adapting vintage frames to modern powerplants. The high-mount design is particularly valuable in street rods, race cars, and restomod projects where alternator positioning directly impacts cooling airflow and component packaging. Installation requires integration with existing water pump and alternator hardware; verification of clearance with your specific intake manifold, headers, and ancillary components is recommended before final assembly. This bracket represents a solution for builders seeking OEM-quality durability without the limitations of factory mounting geometry.
