    I need some help to identify this super charger bracket. The guy thought it might be for a Ford Y block, but I dont think that is correct unless supplemental brackets are need to bolt it on. The only ID numbers are on the belt tensioner arm, and the stamped number on the bracket itself. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    Don't know if this helps, but this is a Yblock bracket, VS series, drivers side mount. I'm pretty sure they made more than one, this one would work on a tbird. (Instructions say : relocate p/s to pass side. Relocate battery to trunk. No hint given on how.)

    There were some metal strap brackets that went from the s/c mounting bolts back to the exhaust manifold and intake bolt IIRC.

    Might also find something in a picture on this old site, or a post at yblocksforever.

    These year Vettes used a different engine mount system than other Chevys thus requiring a different blower bracket.
