New heads NEED HELP!

Hey guys im doing a bunch of work to my motor since Im replacing a blown head gasket.
Cam and lifters Comp cams 12-246-3
Magnum double roller Timing Chain setup
Proform 1.6 roller tip rocker arms
New proform high flow water pump
New summit high flow race radiator

I also want to swap heads. I have set of 69 camaro double hump heads. 2.02 190 heads been fully ported and polished by the last guy who had them. Upgraded springs and valves too.
These heads dont allow for accessories seeing as they dont have and cant be drilled for them.
I have heard of guys using special brackets to still fully use the powersteering and altonator.

Im not sure I cant seem to find them and I really want to get this build together asap but I am not buying any parts untill I can find the brackets t outilize these heads.
Any help guys would be great.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Btw if any one has similar parts to the ones iv listed up top im interested fo the right price shipped to 08872 NJ.

Re: New heads NEED HELP!

i have a similar set up on my roc. for the alternator you need two brackets,and you should be able to find them at your local auto parts store, one going to the water pump, the other to the intake.

for the power steering, it will be two pieces as well. the top will bolt to the front header bolt, the other will fasten to the bottom of the wtr pump. your local junk yard should have them but you may have to search! look for a mid 70's pick up, or a car from the 60's. i believe you can find them on the internet but the power steering brackets will cost over a 100 bucks.

Re: New heads NEED HELP!

My power steering pump seems to already have that bracket but it also has the bracket that attaches to the head on the driver side. Just remove the bracket I wont be needing and I should be alrite correct?

Now as for the alt bracket the top portion of my current setup attaches to the waterpump and the the intake, but the bottom bracket attaches to the water pump has a bolt go through the alt then a cylinder and screws into the head.
