Iso big block alternator and ps brackets

I have a 455 from a 76 stuck in a 65 cutlass. Trying to get it back on the road. I'm missing the power steering pump, bracket and alternator bracket. I put a small block alternator bracket in there but one bolt hole didn't line up. It was enough to get it started but would like to find some brackets that will take all the bolts. It would be nice to find a power steering pump and bracket too. Please let me know what you have available and what you'd like for it. Thank you.

I have done lots of 455 swaps into the 64-67 Abodys, I have used the later p/s pump and bracket with no problems.

As for the lower (I assume?) alternator bracket, you can fabricate a spacer to bridge the gap between the alternator bracket and the power steering pump. Obviously, if you can find the proper 455 brackets that’s preferable. I have used pipe, all thread unions, scrap blocks of steel, whatever.

Matt thanks for the tips. I may see what I can cobble together from the junk yard.

Alternator brackets

Hi
do you need alternator brackets for driver side or passenger side of car?
