Anybody know where I can find a 460 alternator bracket like this? My engine's down in a box and it would be nice to have the top adjust. Thanks in advance. :)

No idea, it could be a homemade deal with some powdercoating.

Althought that set up is prettier than mine it puts the alternator in the same location as the one I have that came off of a late 60's early 70's 460 car or truck motor. Mine is a pre- electronic ignition motor with non smog small chamber heads. I think they put the alt down low to clear the air conditioning or something. Anyhow, you should be able to cruise some wrecking yards and find that set up. Sorry I can't be more specific, but my engine was already out of the car when I got it.

Thanks for the replys guys. I found one looking around on vintage Lincoln sites but they wanted $75.00 for it and didn't (wouldn't) tell me what it was off of. Seemed like a little much for a stock unit. I'll poke around the wrecking yards here and find one.
Thanks again

You might try a company called L & L. I utilized one of their kits on a truck I built. I used the alternator bracket they supply (off my truck) and made a copy of it for my boat. Works perfectly. You may be able to purchase a bracket from them.... Here's the link....L & L Products (http://www.landlproducts.com/)
It is a bottom adjust though. My engine bay hasn't got much room either, but it works ok.....
