scarce GM serpentine bracket for 140A alt!
Okay...I have found a second LH GM serpentine bracket which allows the use of a bolt on large case 140A alternator. This also uses a specific thermostat housing which routes the upper radiator hose behind the alternator-there is also a brace for the alternator which secures to it and the front exhaust manifold bolt. You won't need to change the RH bracket for this upgrade-only the right hand side. I'm asking $175 for this "kit" and you'll get:
RH 140A alternator bracket w/hardware
Thermostat housing (specific to this bracket)
Thermostat gasket (Fel-Pro performance gasket, reuseable)
Rear alternator brace
Side alternator brace (secures one side to the first intake bolt)
Power steering pulley
Guided water pump pulley (hard to find)
Upper radiator hose
If anybody is interested, shoot me a PM and I'll send you pics....probably easier that way than adding a ton of pics here. Again, this is a 140A alternator upgrade for an existing serpentine system BUT, if you are looking for a complete swap over kit with everything, unpainted but cleaned and oiled hardware, I have full sets for $350 plus shipping. That gets you everything above plus:
RH serpentine bracket w/hardware
Crank pulley
New tensioner
New idler

Thermostat gasket (Fel-Pro performance gasket, reuseable)
Rear alternator brace

Cheapest source for a Delco Remy NEW alternator for this bracket! Stock ps pump is retained, yes you can use headers with this you just need about a 1" spacer sleeve on the first bolt (and obviously a longer bolt or, use a longer double threaded stud). I don't supply an alternator since with how cheap a new is with no core, why pay for a used alt ya know? I had a total of 3 sets available and sold one this morning so I'm down to two sets.

The left hand bracket is a stock one, the one on the right is the optional 140A version. Uses your same ps pump and the clocking is slightly different because the opening above it is larger.
