I need some guidance regarding which brackets or where to get them for my build. I have a 65 Cutlass with PS/PB and alternator. (NO AC) It has the 330 4BBL motor. I had an engine built which is a 425 "D" block(455 crank), Pro Comp heads and an Edelbrock 455 Olds manifold. The issue is that I have tried to use the 330 engine brackets to hook up the PS and alternator and I can't see how they will work. The top bracket for the PS pump will fit but the bottom won't. The bottom alternator bracket would bolt on to the head but the top bracket will not meet up with the bottom and no way will it work. I have the correct water pump and crank pully and they are fine. The engine is fine with 470 hp and 540 lbs of torque w/W manifolds.
Thank-you in advance.
I got the PS side altered after some work. This shows the difference in what I think is the difference between a 330 bracket and a 425 bracket when it comes to the water pump attachment.

Gee, that looks like just about the 1" difference in deck height from SBO to BBO...
In 1965, the SBO and BBO accessory brackets were different due to the deck height difference. You need the correct BBO brackets for a 1965.
