RE: [Chevelle-list] 350 Crate Motor in '65 Malibu

There are other brackets you can get.  Since your '65 should not have used any of the cylinder head mounting bolts, you can work with this arrangement, or swap to all new brackets that mount to the cylinder head as well that can also bring the accessories in.  There are alternator mount brackets made for use with headers which bolt on.  I had mine welded onto my headers once, which has plusses and minuses. I don't know about AC mounts, but I thought power steering mounted by the engine mount and block and not the headers.  Either way, if you have a catalog you can find the header brackets as well as other mounts used through the years.  Or, you can shell out some more money for a very cool looking serpentine system.  They seem to mount exclusively to the block and heads, which means you will not have any headaches.
