Chevy 283-350 Header Br acket

The Chevy 283-350 Header Bracket is a driver-side alternator mounting solution engineered for small-block Chevrolet engines running aftermarket headers. When upgrading to a performance header system, the stock alternator location often becomes incompatible with the new exhaust configuration. This bracket solves that conflict by repositioning the alternator to a low-mount, header-compatible location, allowing you to maximize airflow and aesthetic appeal without sacrificing electrical charging output. It's essential for any small-block Chevy build combining headers with factory or upgraded alternators.

Constructed from durable steel and finished in chrome, this bracket features a compact design optimized for short water pump configurations common in small-block Chevy applications. The low-mount geometry maintains proper belt tension and pulley alignment while clearing header tube work, eliminating the need for costly engine bay rework or custom fabrication. At just 0.79 lbs with a footprint of 5.9 x 0.8 x 8.85 inches, the bracket integrates seamlessly into tight engine compartments. The chrome finish resists corrosion while complementing polished valve covers and dressed-up engine bays typical of restoration and performance projects.

This bracket is ideal for restorers, hot rodders, and performance enthusiasts installing headers on 283, 327, or 350 cubic-inch small-block Chevrolet engines. Whether you're building a classic street rod, upgrading a vintage muscle car, or enhancing a modern crate-engine swap, proper alternator clearance prevents header-to-bracket contact and maintains reliable electrical output. Installation is straightforward, bolting directly to existing engine block and alternator mounting points without modification, making it a practical choice for both professional shops and dedicated DIY builders.
