Re: pulley ?

Update on pulley situation. Bought new balancer for 89 350 engine. It's a 8 in. Old balancer off 81 engine is 6 in. So ps pump bracket hit 8 in. Balancer. Got out cut off tool and modified stock bracket a little. I don't think it weakened it enough to matter. Pulleys line up- 1 down 2 to go. R an r water pump a couple times. 89 is longer towards radiator. Won t work. Used 1971 water pump. They r 2 in. Shorter. Pulleys now line up. 2 down. I have no idea how or where alternator bolts up. The brackets off 81 Don t line where I think they should. So my next ? Is r the threaded bolt holes on front of heads different depending on year , or r all 350 s the same ? Any pics of alt. Bolted up would be very helpful if anyone has one handy. So I m getting it....slowly. accessories r definitely not a direct swap. Thanks for any help and suggestions.
