I like the Holley brackets better then any of the others. You will also need the correct spacer kit for your setup.

Just the compressor bracket and the proper spacer kit is all you need. Should be under $250 for both.

Check out prices for Holly pieces in amazon.com
Then I went to Jegs for price match
Paid $170 for complete kit including spacers
Holly is a good choice with a close to factory look
This for brackets only
