F-body Procharger w/Iron Block 6.0L - ????????
So there are a lot of 370's, 390's, and 408's out there with blowers.
What are guys doing on F-body's about the missing bolt hole on the iron blocks for the alternator mounting location?
I found these two threads but there has got to be more?

That works for one of the mounting holes, what about the other missing one?
The iron block is missing two mounting holes, one just needs to be drilled and tapped as you stated, the other is simply not there. See photos below

Here's how I did mine. I also drilled and tapped my block. It drills and taps really easy, blocks must be a soft metal.
Here's the link to the old set up I did..

Since the j-bracket bolts to the alternator bracket, techincally there are only two bolts holding the blower on. Correct?
Am I missing something?

Just the two holes are more than enough for the alternator if you use the brackets on the back of the alternator to hold it in place. I have done it for my last two LS swaps and havent had a single problem

I'm not so concerned with the weight, I am concerned about only two bolts holding the blower and the stresses it will put on those long bolts. These cars are already cursed with a bracket that flexes a bunch, then if you take away one of the three mounting locations, it will be worse.

I have never run into a problem with the one hole in the bracket not being used. We ran my iron block with it this way, both with the stock J bracket at 18 psi and then when we came out with the cog bracket, back at the old shop. Bob
