Re: Accessory brackets help
No. The S10's brackets will work because they're from a 90 degree 4.3L V6, which is basically a small block V8 with the back two cylinders cut off.

You'll need to find brackets from a passenger car application to put your accessories on. Some older truck setups might work as long as it's for a long water pump, but I don't know for sure.
