Accessory drive brackets
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 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.

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.

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?

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...
