Chrome alt. bracket, and some aluminum angle. I have spun it up to 5900 RPMs, the belt stays on, and it shows no sign of breaking.

on mine the alternator bolts perfectly directly to the front plate of the rail kit. I use a turnbuckle attached to on of the bolts holding the plate to the motor and the other end on the top of alt to adjust tension.. So far so good. and it tucks it as tight to the motor as possible without touching so it fits inside the shroud over the front of the motor.
Stupid question.... Will an alternator work spinning the opposite derection. IE turned so the pulley is facing the engine. Tell me I can mount it this way and it will work. I have seen afew lately mounted this way and it would take care of a few mounting problems for me.

It will work. I mounted mine this way. I used a 4wire alternator, as they have a lower RPM 'turn on' speed. Still dont start to fully charge until 3000rpm. While i made my own mounts and coupler i am told someone makes a kit. I did it cause i did not like the exposed belts. Not shown in the pics are the fan shroud i made to eliminate the 'finger guillotine' that you see between the mounting bolts and the fan.

This looks like a pretty good and inexpensive way to do it. I guess they dont call you Jeanyus for nothing :hammer2:

Mike;
Do you sell the direct drive kit for a SBC???

No sorry don't have for sb. It would involve making a different plate, probably different length standoffs. The hub where it registers in the balancer I think would be the same not positive w/o researching it. I've had lots of guys buy our components and then make them fit other engines, blowers etc. All parts are available in kit or separate.
