Thanks! I've been working on the firewall a little bit and playing around with my son's truck. I should be ready for another trial fit next weekend......

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I got the supercharger snout support bracket back from my machinest for a test fit. I still need to clean it up but it fits great. I thought about adding something in the middle to break up the big piece of aluminum, but I'm not sure what I should put in there....suggestions?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Could go with a simple bowtie!

Might consider a name. (Does the truck have a "name"?)

Add a simple pattern to it, wouldn't "open" it up, but it would break up the broad, flat expanse of the bracket.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
How about matching the pattern and texture of the Alt bracket or go black to match the SC.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Can you cut a "window" in the bracket to make it less bulky, without losing strength?
How thick is it?

Thought about a Bow tie. Truck isn't named so can't go there.... thanks!

Alt and a/c brackets are forged pieces from Holley, so I really can't match them. I could paint it black though....

Keith, it's a 1/4" aluminum. There's a piece that bolts on just below the s/c snout, so I'm not sure I could cut it out without maintaining the strength. I'll have to ask my machinist. I thought about having another one waterjetted out of stainless, the cutout would probably work then.

You could do three triangles without loosing strength and get the same appearance as what Keith has drawn up. Two on the outside upright and the middle one inverted. Just a suggestion.

Couple more pictures from today's madness... Always fun to watch someone else drill a hole in a perfectly good LS3 crank and balancer.

I don't see any reason to window the bracket just leave it like it is.
The supercharger emblem would have been a good idea if the belt didn't run right through that area.
