Ebay or a junkyard would be your best bet, IMO.

What 6 do you have? I was able to get one for my 250 off of e bay,(NOT CHEEP ) I had to modify it to fit my headers.
I might have one for a newer 250 that you might make work.

There are a couple on ebay for a 250, they are usually pretty easy to find. But if you have a 292 good luck!!!

jimbo, a couple of cautions (I searched out one of these for my 250 years ago). Clearly the 230/250 and 292 are different. But, more than that, the truck and van are different too. Have a look at the crank pulleys and their spacing to make sure the bracket will fit. Of course, I didn't initially know this, so I ended up with a 250 van bracket (thought I'd struck gold when I found it in the yard). I was able to modify the bracket with a bit of steel and some welding to make it work (correcting for the belt alignment).

Next problem... the bracket won't easily clear non-stock intakes and exhaust.

You can also look at Novas and Pontiac Venturas as they all used these engines as well. The van just seemed to be the best bet, because being the heaviest the chances that it had power steering are better.

Oh, and the 250 "integral head" uses a different bracket as well (non-interchangable, and I have one of those as well....)

Fun fun fun!

Hey Greg! If you've got any info where another 250 PS brack could be found in the lower mainland (B.C.), that would be awesome!
