Works on 3400 and 3500 heads. Not that the stockers won't work (with some re-drilling), but don't look as cool

The design has been changed slightly from the original due to the need of another idler pulley. Might be able to start cutting them from aluminum this week sometime...

I hope you will be selling these as I was just pondering last night how I'm going to tackle that.

The stock brackets will work, just need to open up the mounting hole s a bit

This is for a customer putting a full 3500 in a Camaro with FF headers and Shwitzer turbo. The P/S bracket is also getting fabricated. They hold the accy's up high enough to sneak the headers under them.

But sure, if you would like one when they are finished, let me know and I can give you a quote. This guy bought an entire engine, heads with porting, the brackets and a few other small items from me a s apackage, so an individual quote for the brakets would need to be worked up.
