All,

I'm trying to figure out how I can get Alt, PS, and AC on a 350 motor with an electric waterpump and 177 Blower on a 70 Chevelle. (gear box is up front)

I've looked at a few companies but no one seems to make all of these brackets together in a kit. (for a blower)

My Current Idea is to use either March's Alt and PS kit and get the vintage air low mount compress bracket but was hoping you all could help with experience. I've also seen Alan Grooves brackets which may be a good alternative to march but they don't offer a compressor bracket for electric WP. (that I've seen)

Configuration:
70 Chevelle
350CID
Meisere 55GPM electric water pump
Weiand 177 Blower
Power Master 140 amp Alt

Thanks in advance for your help.

forget the electric water pump, no end of problems there. brackets are just the beginning.

This! I tried it twice, once on my 69 Camaro last year and for a customers 65 C10 two years ago.

Excercise in futility. I would up with three ghetto looking idlers on the Camaro and after two weeks of cutting and fabbing. I grabbed a short pump from the parts store and buttoned it the next day.

Thanks for the replies.. The SB is expected to put out around 600-700hp and the engine builder is saying i should be running the high flow electric so i don't have to worry about the engine overheating.

Electric water pumps flow can be deceiving, especially when you take into account the flow isn't measured thru a block and head but measured with little restriction.

As a test measure free flow not thru the block heads, radiator, heater core then remeasure thru the above mentioned. I think you will be dissapointed how little flow there is.
