Drivers side lt1 alternator relocate???? Valve cover is hitting my alternator, does anyone know how to make or where to purchase a bracket to relocate to drivers side of engine as there is nothing on the driver's side of my engine.

I’m assuming you got valuable covers that aren’t “notched” for the alternator?

How much does that machine head bracket run that looks like what I need. I don't want to buy a narrow alternator because then when it goes out you have to buy a new alternator or have it rebuilt then your out of action for x number of days you can't drive to advance and pick one up. I need a bracket system to move it over.

The other kits out there now require you to delete AC, PS or both.
Edit: if you just want to use your VC's with the stock alt, you can easily adapt the alt housing to work just fine. Clock the back of the housing (45 degrees, I think...) then grind down the case a bit. Easy peasy. These are my ProForm centerbolt SBC covers with a clearanced alt housing.

I have comp ProMag 1.6's and as you can see - everything fits with the covers I have. They're tapered at the edges which makes fitment easier with the alt case adjustments, but I suspect even non-tapered covers would fit after modding the alt. Or get the Canton covers with the notch.
