CVF Racing's high mount alternator bracket in stealth black places the alternator up near the cylinder head on the USA passenger side of a Ford 460 or 429CJ big block. CVF lists it for engines built from 1969 through 1997 running a V-belt drive.
It suits alternator only and alternator with power steering layouts. CVF does not recommend it for engines that also run air conditioning, because the alternator cannot move far enough inboard to line up with the normal groove without contacting the cylinder head.
