Just got my new CVF alternator 351c bracket kit. For the money seems quite top notch, nice feel. Need to send out for powder coating yet before my install. Hung up a bit due to was planning on buying a 351c BEAST serpintine 8 rib belt drive but had other issues requiring money. If any of you have their stuff post up pics. -------------  Andrew:GTS.ORG admin, '72 Q code 5 speed RestomodPondering: #99Problems |

John- Do you have any other pictures of the area of the back side of the reservoir? I'm curious how it's connected to the block. ------------- Andrew:GTS.ORG admin, '72 Q code 5 speed RestomodPondering: #99Problems |

andy, i don't think i do, but you can see the edge of it where it's bolted to the block, in that pic! all it is is a 4" long straight aluminum piece about 1/4" thick IIRC it attaches around the center fitting at the pump and has a slot on the other end (that you can see in the pic)and there is about a 1/4" spacer between the bracket and the block

Ah ok. I really like the look of that but I switched over to the later 70's plastic reservoir pump. Hmmm something to consider. What's mildly amusing is CVF said originally not to use the Thompson pump with their bracket. ------------- Andrew:GTS.ORG admin, '72 Q code 5 speed RestomodPondering: #99Problems |

I used CVF brackets on my big block race car for an alt. A little pricey, but good stuff that's strong & fits. ------------- 72 Gran Torino Sport 557 10.12 @136 @3600lbs. 2 Time Milan Dragway Track Champion. 2012 IHRA Div. 5 No-Box Champion. 97 career wins. |

A little old on this post but I finished my swap last year and have around 5K miles on it. Overall, quite happy. Need to upload a few more pictures but off their site: http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Eliteman76/media/1972%20GTS%20Torino/Drivetrain/Belt%20Drive/CVF%20beast%20purchase%20-%20IMG_8349_zpsp3vtg9rk.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Eliteman76/library/1972%20GTS%20Torino/Drivetrain/Belt%20Drive ------------- Andrew:GTS.ORG admin, '72 Q code 5 speed RestomodPondering: #99Problems |
