Default F-body alternator bracket on a LQ9

I'm wondering witch alternator bracket people are using on a 6.0L block , the block dont have 3 bolts holes like the LS1 and since I've got a procharger I'm sure is not going to be strong enough . let me know what are you doing to solve this problem.

Thanks

most just tap the block were the altinator should go. if you need to relocated it you could use the tti or stainless works bracket.

Default F-body alternator bracket on a LQ9

I cannot tap theads in the block because at this place I dont have place to do that . It's near the timing chain cover , I already tap threads at the other place , an about the relocator bracket I'm still having the same problem for my supercharger.

Thanks for your help

get the sdce kit, you'll get a spring loaded tensioner ( 39452396529356 times better than the crap ATI sells with the kit) and a rod that goes from one of the oil pan bolts to the outer side ( the tip of the "j" ) of the blower bracket as a sort of "brace" , it uses the last bolt holding the blower to the bracket .

this is one of the best ways, if not the best , to stop the blower braacket from flexing.
just run a search and you'll find lots of people running it and some pics of it.
