Shouldn't think so James - Gerry's headers go to a 90º radiused section, with a clamp fit, which none of the yank setups use. Karl will need to do a bit of fabricating here now, I think!James Baxter wrote:I had to modify our set of headers (Grrrr)- stock items from Gerry, and buy a short starter motor too.(Grrrr) Summit Racing along with the water pump as someone advised me on another thread.
Our alternator fits on the RHS - there are stacks of tapped holes on the head and water pump so making a simple backet is easy. The long bolt, on which the alternator pivots needs support immediately under the bolt head, ie outboard of the alternator; with a straight stay onto a water pump tapping. The slotted tensioning bar isn't enough to hold it (in my humble opinion). Fortunately the wiring loom still reached it on the RHS.
By the way, your new header clears lovely, but will the next length of pipe which bolts to it?
As I've said before, if you're fitting an alternator on the RHS of the engine this is the stock fitment for all small block Fords. You do not need to fabricate any brackets or bolts - there are hundreds of styles, Ford and aftermarket, pressed steel cheapo to super-expensive billet aliminium ('cept they call it aluminum) on the market. Why make something that is incredibly readily available? The stock setup is strong, and will not fatigue/break etc. Millions of Fords had it from the factory.
Here - $14 - that's £8 + postage!
