Anyone make a bracket to use stock old school alternator with LSX?

Hey All:

Looking for a bracket to bolt my stock style delco alternator from my 68 Nova on the motor, not finding anything. I know the pulley needs swapped. Anybody seen one?

Thanks for any help!

I have the truck set-up and re-used the stock alternator (CS130) on the stock truck alt. bracket I cut in half (lower half trashed, cut below the 3 mounting bolts). I also had to add a dogbone bracket on one side.
I can get better pics if you like.

Looks sweet. Very nice work.

I really wanted to move the alt to the passenger side, but that might work.

Yes, I wanted to keep it on passenger side also, but was going to be expensive

Here's a short cut to one i've made in the past. It uses the same alternator as Doug's above and a custom tensioner, both on the passenger side. Can't say the whole set is cheap though as it uses LS1 p/s, waterpump and alternator bracket for an idler pulley.

Here's another one that looks really nice on Ebay.
