Well its kinda a guess but I would say the pic shows a older 283-327 possibly with the short water pump... so take the bracket that holds the alternator as well I think that type uses the water pump bolt as a source to hold the bracket. The lower mount for the alternator/generator probably uses the exhaust manifold... the exhaust manifold proabably has a ear on it thats threaded... you may need that also....but you gotta check on what type exhaust you have now and if what is on this parts vehcile will fit... the ram horn on this car type probably dumps straight down... so custom exhaust work may be necessary if you have a 305 in there now, might ass well grab both exhaust manifolds.
