wallaby Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 This photo might help, it shows most of the brackets. The monster cast-iron piece goes on the front of the engine, and a smaller cast-iron piece holds up the rear bolted to the head near the exhaust manifold. The A-frame steel piece goes on top and crosses over the valve cover and bolts thru an ear on the intake manifold. None of this stuff fits without mods if you have headers or tall valve covers.
