I am going to be installing a L96 6 liter into my 65 Beaumont. I need brackets for alternator and power steering with enough clearance for the steering box. What options are out there?

Try Kwik Performance Inc. They have Billet Aluminum

Quick Ranger

Try the holley LS bracket. That setup gave me plenty of clearance on my Ranger, way cheaper than Kwik performance. It allows the use of corvette spacing, f-body spacing or the truck spacing. Even using the corvette spacing, i have plenty of room to my gearbox.

Looks like the biggest down side of the Holley bracket is the R4 compressor.

Check here. They should have anything you need.

The Holley brackets are the way to go and they have kits for many compressors including the SD5-SD7.

The downside to the kwik brackets are that they flip the power steering pump upside down so the gravity feed from res is down on the bottom right near your steering box so they don't leave you as much room.

Go with the holley or a factory corvette setup

I have an extra corvette bracket (no accys) and water pump (both new). PM if you are interested.

The holley stuff will , but its 10 times the cost , or close to it ,

Holley makes a bracket for the Sanden compressor as well.

Their brackets are pretty popular these days.

Thanks guys, appreciate the input. Remember I only need p. steering and alternator. My old girl don't have AC. For AC its all windows down.

LS Brackets

The GM A Body bracket is the one you need # LS-0201

Jerry, returned your PM. Are you starting from scratch with accys or do you have an engine with some on already?

The stock GM truck bracket would be cheapest. Any similar swaps with stock truck accessories to compare?

Holley sells that kit as well.

just remember to match up your accessories with your crank pulley and water pump. they need to be the same. they all have different offsets.

I have the Holley bracket, alt and power steering only. I'm not using the spacer kits, which allows me the use of corvette spacing. I'm using the f-body waterpump as it allows the use of f-body spacing or the corvette spacing.

that pulley posted above is smaller diameter than stock- wouldnt that cause issues with the pump running faster? I was going to put a mustang pump on my LY6 with custom brackets but was told that since the crank pulley is bigger than the stock 4.6 ford crank pulley that it'll run 20% faster and could mess things up....any ideas?

TONS of us are running smaller pulleys on the truck PS pumps to clear the steering boxes in our older cars. Don't seem to be any issues, or if there is, no one has blamed it directly on running a smaller pulley.

Could also be that it's the cheapest (and sometimes only) option for getting things to fit so maybe we all are OK with burning up pumps every few years. I swapped out my pressure valve from my old SBC pump into the truck pump so that the box still got the proper pressure it was designed for...
